him undermine my authority like that. Best friend or not, he couldn’t sow me up in my own domain.
    “Yeah, we’ll see soon enough. You know what would really be hot?”
    “What?” I dreaded to know what he was about to say. Knowing Evan, it could have been anything from letting the whole team hit it, to filming it and at least letting the frat brothers all watch.
    “If you scored her and her roommate at the same time.”
    I heard the collective groan of the guys standing around.
    “Miranda? Man, that girl’s got the freak show thing going on,” I said.
    He raised his eyebrows. “I bet she does.”
    Everyone laughed.
    Tre agreed with me. “I don’t know though, Evan. She looks like the type who’ll tie you up in fun then start cutting. I’d leave that alone and stick with Cassidy, Slade. She may be the Ice Princess, but damn, she’s not liable to shank you in your sleep.”
    That earned another round of laughter at Evan’s expense.
    “Anybody need a beer?” Ryan asked, getting up to go into the kitchen. A few of us nodded. “Gotcha.” He disappeared around the corner.
    “So, about this party,” I started, trying to get the guys back on task so we could get Cassidy off the agenda again.
    It wasn’t that I wanted to date her or anything, and I didn’t want the guys believing I did. She was just the hottest, most unattainable girl on campus, and I had a reputation to uphold. I had to hit that, and everyone expected me to. Hell, I expected me to. It was my duty as the hottest guy on campus and the star quarterback. Actually, it was insulting that I hadn’t.
    I probably could have, back in high school, but she spent so much time with my little brother, I thought they were dating. They were inseparable. Besides, she was still a kid back then. She would have been perfect for Shawn, but after a while the two of them acted more like siblings than a couple who was dating. That’s where Shawn and I were like night and day. I couldn’t let a girl get that close to me without spending some time under the hood.
    “Hey, Andrew says he’s in for a hundred against Slade,” Ryan announced as he strolled back in the room with a case of beer cans in his hand.
    “What the hell, Ryan?” Evan called out. “We should have kept this tight, between us. Now the whole damn fraternity is going to know.”
    “Relax, Evan. We’re all brothers, so they got a right to be in on this. All we have to do is make sure word doesn’t get out. Got it?” I looked at Ryan.
    “Yeah, got it. No one else is going to know,” he said, holding up his beer and passing mine across the room to me.
    “I can’t have Cassidy finding out we’re laying wagers on how long it takes me to get her in bed.”
    “Now, it’s not just in your bed, Slade,” Mo chimed in. “This isn’t high school, bruh. You have to nail that chick.”
    “Oh, I plan on it,” I added, nodding.
    “Holy shit, guys,” Nathan spoke up suddenly, getting everyone’s attention. “What if Cassidy’s so cold because she’s a virgin?”
    Everyone’s eyes lit up and jaws hit the floor.
    “There’s no way,” I told them. “No way she’s still a virgin.”
    “Name one person you know she’s slept with,” Evan challenged me.
    “I don’t know,” I admitted. “But she’s a cheerleader, man.”
    “A cheerleader who hasn’t slept with anyone on the team,” Tre added.
    “Thank you for that, Tre,” I said.
    “Look, all we’re saying here is that you could be the first one, bro. You could be the one to pop that sweet little cherry,” Evan insisted. “If you can’t do it by Christmas, I’m going after it.”
    I assumed she wasn’t a virgin just because it was so rare to find a girl who made it through high school in the South without putting out. Then again, I never remembered my brother being upset about any other guys hanging around his best friend.
    “Look at him, man. He’s thinking about it,” Ryan hollered, laughing. “He doesn’t know, man.
