“We really should be studying,” I call from inside Caroline’s massive walkin closet. It’s almost as big as my whole apartment. A tall window looks out
over Central Park, the buildings on the other side silhouetted by the setting
sun. Pinks fade into orange and purple in the sky; lights flicker on in
apartment windows, the treetops below soaking up the last of the goldenhour rays. I turn to the floor-to-ceiling collection of shoes, running my
fingers over suede heels, then velvet boots, then studded sneakers. A marble
mood board covers the opposite wall, a collage of prom dresses, cute
summer outfits, and models like Cara Delevingne and Bella Hadid making
pouty faces, all stuck on with gold magnets. Makeup and jewelry line the
built-in island in the middle of the room, lit up like Sephora.
“I saw you drooling over that dress,” Caroline calls back. “What kind of
friend would I be if I didn’t let you try it on?”
I smile, not because of the More Expensive Than My Parents’ Car ball
gown I’m about to try on, but because the darling of New York Webber
Academy just said she was my friend. I’ve been tutoring her in science
every Thursday afternoon for over a year, and of course I’d hoped it would
evolve into a friendship, but this is the first time she’s actually said that
word out loud. I have to tell Pari about this. I wonder if she’ll be jealous. Or
intrigued.
Don’t make a big deal about it, Waverly. Oh, who am I kidding? This is
a Big Deal! Being in Caroline’s circle is like having a key to the city—it’ll
get you in anywhere. And who knows? Maybe upgrading from her tutor to
her friend will raise my social score.
But really, it’s just nice to have friends. I’ve never been great at making
friends. I wish I could blame it on the kids at Webber being classist snobs,
but even back in public school when I was on the same level as everyone
else, I always ate lunch alone. I think it’s an autistic thing, but maybe it’s
just a me thing. A Waverly thing. Every day I worry that I’ll somehow scare
away the two friends I do have at Webber—Pari and Frank. So, yeah,
hearing someone like Caroline call me her friend feels damn good.
I throw the heavy skirt of my school uniform onto the floor, then the
itchy sweater, white shirt, and sports bra. Once I’m down to my underwear,
I stare lovingly at the extravagant dress hanging on the back of the door. It’s
a regal red couture ball gown designed by Christian Siriano. It’s too
expensive for me to even look at, and I told Caroline as much when she first
suggested I try it on. But once Caroline gets an idea in her head, it’s
pointless to fight her—especially if it means getting out of studying biology
for a few minutes.
