sings, and everyone laughs.
    The next line is yours: “I didn’t mean to do you wrong…baby,” you sing, laughing.
    â€œOhhhhhh, baby…,” Zac starts. “Wait, that’s
your
line!” he says, pointing at you. Pretty soon, everyone in the audience is laughing so hard, you can’t even remember what you’re supposed to be singing. So you and Zac just sing every line together, making them laugh more. When the song finally ends, there’s tons of clapping—some people even stand up to cheer for you both!
    â€œKiss her!” someone yells out, and suddenly the crowd is chanting, “Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss!”
    Zac looks at you, smiling, “I think we need to give our fans what they want,” he says quietly.
    â€œI agree,” you say, leaning in. When his lips touch yours, the audience goes crazy cheering.
    â€œEncore!” someone yells.
    â€œUh, maybe later,” Zac says into the microphone. He grins at you as he takes your hand and leads you offstage. Not every guy is sweet enough to put up with the craziness of a spontaneous karaoke duet, but Zac is. He’s adorable! That’s the last time you judge anyone based on just their age!

Chapter 38
    â€œWe’ll do it!” you hear someone say, and a guy goes up to the stage holding a girl’s hand. They take the microphones and start singing a terrible duet about heartbreak and getting dumped.
    â€œYou’d never want to do something like that with me,” Zac says, motioning to the people onstage. “You’d be too embarrassed to be seen with some nerd.” He slumps down in his seat.
    â€œThat’s not true,” you say. “Look”—he turns to you—“I might as well just tell you. I heard what you and your friends were saying about me; one of my friends overheard you.”
    â€œI don’t know what you’re talking about,” you tell him, but your mind goes back to some of the things that Heather had been saying. Who could have overheard her?
    â€œAbout how I’m just some little kid, some super-brain….Why did you even agree to meet me here tonight? Just to make fun of me?” he asks.
    You can tell he’s really angry, and you feel terrible. “Zac, I—,” you start to say, but he cuts you off.
    â€œForget it,” he says. “I’m out of here.” He stands up and pushes his chair into the table hard before leaving the lounge. You feel bad that he heard you and your friends were talking about him, but seriously…maybe he is too immature for you after all!

Chapter 39
    â€œHere’s the idea,” Bryce says, leading you all out into the parking lot. “We’ll just borrow the lodge’s van for the night—they’ll never notice that it’s gone.”
    â€œYeah, and besides, we
are
lodge employees, so we should be allowed to use it, right?” Jon adds.
    â€œThat’s what I’m thinking,” Bryce whispers. He leads the way through the dark parking lot over to a van that has MT. FROST SKI LODGE painted on the side of it. He opens the sliding door on the side. “Climb in,” he says to you and Heather.
    She climbs up into a seat, and you join her. Aiden scoots in beside you. Bryce goes around to the driver’s seat and gets in while Amanda takes the passenger seat next to him. “Now for the tricky part,” Jon says, climbing into the back of the van and closing the door. “You sure you’ve got this?”
    â€œYeah, man, no prob,” Bryce says as he reaches under the steering wheel.
    â€œWhat are you doing?” Heather asks. “Well, see, we don’t
exactly
have the keys,” Brycesays, pulling out some wires from underneath the steering wheel. “So…”
    â€œYou’re hot-wiring the van?” you ask. That’s
