Ariana Osgood sighed contentedly as she settled back into the strong arms of her boyfriend, Palmer Liriano, on a beautiful November morning. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows at the Hill, the sky was a solid, bright blue, the trees along the banks of the Potomac a cheerful autumn mélange of oranges, reds, and golds. It was Friday, and after a long week of midterms and constant study groups, Palmer and Ariana had decided to spend their breakfast period in the junior and senior lounge, rather than the dining hall, so that they could snag some precious alone time. Ariana took a breath and relished the moment. This was what she had worked so hard for all these months—all these years. She was finally where she wanted to be. She had the prestigious school, the gorgeous boyfriend, the popular friends she was meant to have. But above all, she was free. Free. Ariana’s skin tingled as the word passed through her mind, and she shivered slightly against Palmer’s chest. “You cold?” he asked, nuzzling her ear from behind. His early-morning voice was a pleasant, comforting rumble. “You can wear my jacket if you want.” Ariana nodded, then looked over her shoulder at him and touched her nose to his. Up close his green eyes were even more stunning, flecked with gold and blue. But even better was the way they shone when he looked at her. As if he couldn’t believe how lucky he was to be with her. The most sought-after guy in school wanted her. Palmer shrugged out of his navy blue Atherton-Pryce Hall blazer and held it open. Ariana slipped her arms into the sleeves. She wasn’t cold, but she knew that walking around campus in his jacket would make her feel even more perfect, more secure. All the girls at APH would eye her with envy. It would solidify her as Palmer’s girl. Everyone would know they were together. The thought made Ariana giggle with pleasure. “What’s so funny?” Palmer asked, placing his hands on her shoulders. “Nothing. Just happy,” Ariana said. “Me too,” Palmer replied matter-of-factly. “Nice, isn’t it?” Ariana asked, tucking her short, auburn hair behind her ear. He grinned. “Very.” He touched his lips to hers, and they were still locked in a deep kiss when several of their friends dropped into the chairs around them. “Break it up, dudes. There are virgins present,” Landon Jacobs said, jerking his head toward Adam Lazzerri as he sat on the couch across from Ariana and Palmer. Adam placed both hands over his heart, pretending to be wounded. “Maybe I haven’t hooked up on every continent like some people, but I do okay.” Maria Stanzini groaned as she perched on the edge of the couch next to Landon. “Must our conversations always come back to Landon’s many conquests?” she asked, taking a sip of her double espresso. Her light blue APH-issue button-down was slightly rumpled, her gold-and-gray-striped tie loose around her neck, but she still managed to look beautiful. Her light brown hair was back in a ponytail, with a few loose locks grazing her sharp cheekbones. “What’re you guys doing here?” Palmer asked in an annoyed tone. Ariana smiled, loving that he valued his time with her so much that it made him forget his manners. “Soomie ordered those awful runny eggs again,” Maria said, disgusted, sticking the tip of her tongue between her teeth. “I could not sit there a moment longer and watch her eat them.” “So gross.” Adam shuddered. “But if ...
