Aspen asked, arching a brow. Vera's heart stuttered. "What?" Aspen laughed, then grinned. She gently grabbed Vera's wrist and walked them back through the main hall, turning behind the bookshelf marked Historical Fiction, and leading them to the dark corner. "Let me know if you want to stop," Aspen whispered, before pulling Vera close. *** Vera's life changes forever when her sister's best friend, Aspen, shows up drunk at her doorstep one fateful night. While Vera's sister, Layla, likes to dance and party, Vera prefers to read a good book and stay in for the night. Layla and her best friend Aspen are the most popular girls at Hilltop High. Vera never had a boyfriend-she barely even had her first kiss. But when Layla and their parents leave for a dance competition, Aspen shows up drunk at her doorstep and changes everything.
