.”
    â€œEstimated?” Chad’s voice was low. “You just estimated?”
    â€œWell, I know their net worth is about seven hundred million, give or take,” I went on. “So, I just figured if their money was in a basic savings account at 6% interest per quarter, that’s what their annual income would be.” I shrugged. “We never really talk about money much, honestly.”
    â€œHow did your parents,” Eric asked, “make their money?”
    â€œDid they inherit it?” This was from Chris.
    â€œOh, no.” I laughed. “My dad was a software designer and started his own company when he got out of college. He invented EZ Accounting . . .”
    â€œOh, my God.” Eric gasped. “Is your father Terry Valentine?”
    I nodded, looking from face to face. “Yes. Is that a problem?” I swallowed. Maybe Beta Kappa is no different from St. Bernard after all. They don’t want me because of who my father is—but why? My heart sank. I closed my eyes and wished I were a million miles away.
    They exchanged glances.
    â€œWell, we’d like to offer you a bid to pledge Beta Kappa,” Chris said, smiling. “Would you like to accept? You don’t have to accept right now—”
    â€œOh, yes, I accept!” My heart felt like it was going to explode in my chest. They want me! “I can’t think of anything I would rather do than be a Beta Kappa!”
    Eric cleared his throat. “Are you sure you don’t want to check out any of the other houses first? We don’t want you to think we pressured you into joining us without giving the other houses a chance.”
    In my head, I heard Blair saying, “ If someone asks you if you’ve checked out the other houses, even if you haven’t and don’t want to, tell them yes. Don’t seem too eager to join Beta Kappa. We’re also required by Interfraternity Council rules to encourage prospectives to look at other houses.”
    But they’d already offered me a bid.
    I took a deep breath and forced Blair’s voice out of my head. “I really like it here,” I said. “The moment I walked into the house I felt like I belonged here. I’ll be the best pledge you’ve ever had. I’ll be the best brother you’ve ever had. I really, really want to pledge Beta Kappa. I mean, I’m an A student, and I can help brothers study and tutor and . . .” My voice trailed off.
    Idiot! I yelled at myself inside my head. Blair said not to seem too eager. You’ve blown it. They’re going to change their minds and ask you to leave.
    â€œIn that case,” Chris said slowly, pushing a small piece of cardboard across the desk to me. I glanced down at it.

    The brothers of Beta Kappa fraternity
would like to cordially invite you
to accept a bid to pledge our house.

    Underneath those words were the signatures of Chris as president, Eric as pledge marshal, and Chad as Rush chairman.
    There was a blank for me to sign my name.
    I took the pen Eric was offering me and signed.
    â€œWelcome to Beta Kappa, pledge,” Chris said with a big grin.
    I smiled back at him. “Thank you.” I fought back the tears I knew would be inappropriate.
    I remembered Guy deMontespan and his friends sneering at me.
    I remembered all those meals eaten at a table by myself those eight long years at St. Bernard.
    I remembered all the slights, the veiled and not-so-veiled insults, the teasing, and the pranks.
    Finally, I had fit in somewhere.
    Things were going to be different from now on.

Chapter 3
    â€œY ou know, I wanted you from the first moment I saw you,” Chad said, pulling his Beta Kappa T-shirt over his head, “even with the spinach in your teeth.”
    I gulped. I was sitting on the bed in Chad’s room at the house. His body was even more phenomenal than I’d imagined. His skin was darkly tanned, and there wasn’t a single
