"Have you talked to Grant?" Harley questioned Sadie as they sat in her bedroom, Paramore playing softly in the background as the girl painted her nails while Sadie read a Cosmo magazine. "It was so weird at the construction site not to have him arguing with Austin endlessly." She frowned.

Sadie also frowned, shaking her head. "He's in Boston with his dad right now. They're touring apartments close to Columbia for him and Austin because they don't trust them to live in a dorm." Sadie chuckled.

"Austin got into Columbia?" Harley puzzled. She knew the boy was smart, but there was no way he actually did well enough in school to make it into an Ivy League. "Welcome to the Elitist, baby. A family legacy and lots of money is a magical thing."

Harley pondered the idea before shrugging. "You'll be officially dating a college boy due fall." Harley pointed out, a large grin on her face. "Oh, barf. We are so not dating." Sadie denied, tossing her magazine to the side of her bed. "Someone's in denial."

"We aren't! We're just, really good friends." Sadie tried, an embarrassed grin growing on her lips. "Oh, yeah. Silly me. I just assumed when you spend hours on the phone with a guy, and know everything about him, and go to every social gathering together, and make out-" Harley was cut off by a pillow hitting her.

"You're incredulous." Sadie shrieked, a laugh exploding from Harley's lips as she watched her best friend blush. "Oh, my god. You really like him." Harley's jaw fell at the revaluation, causing Sadie to roll her eyes at the girl's dramatics.

"Oh my god! You are totally whipped. Mrs. Sadie-so-cool actually has real feeling!" Harley giggled out as she hit the girl with the pillow that had been thrown at her. "Okay, stop acting like a five-year-old." Sadie laughed out as she snatched the pillow back. "I'm not incapable of liking somebody."

"You usually are." Harley quipped. "I know! What is wrong with me." Sadie cried out, taking her head in her hands. "Hell is a teenage girl." Harley concurred. "So, are you going to pick Columbia next year?"

"Well, yeah, But not because of Imre." Sadie quickly added the last part. "Columbia's the best option for me. It's one of the best business schools in all of America and it's only two hours away from Yale." The girl grinned at the last part.

"We can spend all our weekends alternating between Columbia and Yale, you coming to visit me, Mary, and Piper one week, and us going to visit you, Grant, and Austin the next." Harley agreed dreamily.

"And Nik," Sadie added, causing Harley's eyes to roll. "And Nik, even though Lizzie made it pretty clear during the many sleepovers I've been forced to attend these past two months that she has all intention to be married and living in Paris with him by next year."

"At least you two are finally getting along, and not even just faking. The first couple of slumber parties were like a horror movie. I thought she was going to murder you in your sleep, or poison the popcorn maybe." Sadie snorted.

"Yeah, so did I." The blonde shuddered at the thought. "Oh, get this!" Harley blurted, sitting up with a goofy grin. "Tomorrow night Max is spending the night, for the very first time."

"They're engaged and he's never spent the night?" Sadie gawked. "Yes, I realize that my mother likes to do things with a touch of insanity, but to celebrate this momentous occasion Max suggested a triple date."
