Chapter One

Ellie Dvorak had been going to The Jane Austen Academy for what felt like forever. She adored the easy ebb and flow of classes, dances, and outings, and her favorite event was tonight's Twilight Picnic. On the last Friday of each October, exactly at twilight, teachers served warm apple cider and fresh-baked cookies to students outside on the quad. The Twilight Picnic was one of many quirky events that made the Academy her favorite place in the world, which was saying a lot since it was hours away from the nearest beach and any surf.

A patchwork of colorful picnic blankets covered the grassy quad in the center of campus. She scanned the crowd, bypassing the Hacky Sack game and the impromptu Frisbee match. She was searching for that familiar mop of brown curls that framed Edward's warm, brown eyes and constant grin.

Not wanting to appear too obvious, Ellie scooted further down her tartan picnic blanket so she was out of the shade of the apple tree. She leaned back on her elbows, her wispy blond hair swinging behind her. As she stretched out, her coltish, tan legs caught the last rays of the sun dipping low in the sky. Her limbs had plenty of cuts and scrapes, plus one jagged scar along her left knee from a really bad tangle with a rogue wave, but unlike her picture-perfect roommate, Emma, she didn't care. With a contented sigh, her long lashes drifted shut and a smile crept across her lips.

You're like a cat, Emma said. You always find the sun.

Ellie didn't need to open her eyes to know her roommate perched on her tailbone, her back arched, her neck long, and her impeccably styled blond curls tousled in the wind. She pulled off the pose in a tight blue dress and knee-high suede boots. The fashion icon always moved as if someone was watching—which in Emma's case was true. Doubly true now that boys were enrolled at the Academy.

Emma always made an impression. Ellie still remembered the first time she laid eyes on the fashionista more than two years ago at freshman orientation—mainly because it was her first day at the Academy, her first time away from her parents, and the day she'd met her best friend, Lizzie.

During the campus tour, she'd towered over the crowd while clutching her pink backpack and skateboard tightly to her sides. The tour group had walked through the main building, which was made up of four intersecting halls—two academic and two dormitory—forming a central courtyard dotted with apple trees. When they had finally been led outside, Ellie had stood in the quad with her head tilted back and jaw slack. She'd gazed in awe at the spiral corner towers that reached toward the sky, at the large wooden doors at each compass point in the quad—north, south, east, and west. Over each entrance, glossy, black, wrought-iron lettering bore the school's motto, We Will Be Heard. She had gotten tingles reading it.

The boarding school felt important and dignified. The complete opposite of her beach shack in Santa Cruz. The people were different, too. Her neon board shorts and shredded tank top felt shabby among the other students' designer luggage and brand labels.

She'd felt so alone. She'd been alone, as her parents could not possibly abandon their yoga practice during a crucial Iyengar backbending workshop series. When Emma had teetered past on stilettos, mid-diatribe to her posh parents about the inadequate closet space, Ellie had panicked.

Ellie remembered thinking, Are they all like that? Before she knew it, her phone had been in her hand, her thumb dialing her parents, a plea on her lips to return home.

Then Lizzie had come along.

Lizzie had briskly crossed the green lawn. Despite her dark head barely coming to Ellie's chin, she'd seemed the tallest person in the place. Her critical eye had moved from her nametag of Eleanor to her face. She then declared, You're more of an Ellie.

Ellie had agreed.

It hadn't taken long for the Academy to become Ellie's new home, and for Lizzie to become the sister she had always wanted.

Then, earlier this year, thanks to the incoming male student body that had forced the girls to take on roommates, she now had a new friend in Emma.

No napping, Emma urged. You've got to see this.

Five more minutes, Mom, Ellie said with a sleepy yawn. Soaking up the sun always made her deliciously drowsy, and she wanted to lie back and take a nap. The Academy class load was exhausting, especially since she was enrolled in the accelerated math program, and Ellie wasn't the type to let a napping opportunity go to waste.

Ellie. Emma kicked her bare foot with a boot heel.

Ellie squeezed her eyes tighter and moaned. But I've seen the Twilight Picnic before.

You haven't seen the Twilight Picnic with eye candy.

Ellie winked open her right eye, squinted against the sun, and grinned. She gazed back at the crowd but didn't see the friendly face she was looking for.

Edward isn't here yet. Emma never missed a thing.

Edward? Ellie said. Whatever—I was looking for Lizzie. She said she would be here. Edward did, too, but it's not like I was looking for him. He'll get here when he gets here. You know Edward, he—

Chatter alert, Emma said.

Ellie's cheeks burned. She knew she shouldn't be looking for Edward—she should enjoy being here with Emma. Stay in the present, speak your truth, and be happy with what you have, her mother always said. These sayings her mother tossed out as life declarations boiled down to her mother's motto, the foundation of her entire yoga practice: Accept the path the universe sets.

Ellie's life path had been pretty awesome so far, and she had no reason to complain.

She sat up when she spotted Lizzie. Her best friend weaved through the crowd, buttoning her denim jacket as she shivered from the chill that was descending with the sun. She was stopped every few minutes by an endless line of curious students. Ellie knew the questions they must be asking her.

Did you discover the identity of the Academy's new owners yet?

Are they still going to change the school's name or have you stopped them?

How did the Board react to our petition protesting the name change?

Or more likely, Are you and Dante really dating?

Ellie waved Lizzie over but instead of seeing her, Lizzie veered left. Ellie's hand fell to her side as her best friend ran up to Dante.

Ellie could see, objectively, why Dante was so respected and popular. He looked like something out of a glossy magazine with perfect blond hair and the kind of self-assurance that matched Lizzie's confidence. But Ellie found his eyes too icy and his expression too serious. He'd also said some not-too-nice things about her best friend. Maybe Lizzie had forgiven him, but Ellie still felt a knot of annoyance that he'd treated Lizzie so poorly.

Still, her mother's voice echoed in her mind. Know your truth and accept the path the universe sets. The truth was that Lizzie liked him and the universe had brought them together.

Dante's arms closed around Lizzie and he pulled her so close and tight that her feet lifted off the ground. Ellie could have sworn the entire quad of girls breathed a collective exhale of jealousy. Dante slid his arm under Lizzie's knees and scooped her up against his chest to kiss her.

And to think she hated him a week ago, Ellie said.

"Lizzie never hated Dante, Emma said. She just didn't realize she liked him yet."

The gong of the main-tower bell shook Ellie from her drowsy, dreamlike state. Even the other students were sitting up at attention on their blankets to watch the sun's slow descent below the horizon as it poured orange light through wispy clouds.

Ellie scanned the crowd again. Where was Edward? She didn't want him to miss his first Twilight Picnic. He'd asked a million questions about the event when she'd first told him about it. Did people dress up as the vampires or werewolves? Where do I get the sparkly glitter for my face? His expression had been so earnest. She'd launched into an awkward explanation of how the event had nothing to do with the book and everything to do with the time of day. It wasn't until he'd burst out laughing that she'd realized he had only been trying to make her laugh.

She half expected he would show up tonight dressed as a sparkly vampire just to get a smile from the crowd. Edward always seemed comfortable being exactly who he was—whether he was the center of comic attention, a sidekick, or a face in the crowd.

Is Bergie resorting to servitude? Emma nodded at the long tables of refreshments. Teachers lined up red plastic cups with apple cider and unwrapped party platters of cookies. Headmistress Berg, inexplicably dressed in a zebra-print pantsuit with her dark-auburn hair piled high atop her head, mingled near the table. Instead of picking up a cookie or handing out a glass of apple cider, which would have shocked the student body speechless, she prowled past the table. Nope, all is still right in the universe, Emma said.

Bergie adjusted the lime-green frames of her cat's-eye glasses as she squinted into the quad. Her gaze stopped on Ellie. She crooked a slim finger.

Ellie involuntarily crawled backward until she backed against the knotted, gnarled apple tree trunk. Was Bergie summoning her? That didn't even make sense. Since when was she on Bergie's radar?

Bergie hated Lizzie, not Ellie. Lizzie was the constant, outspoken thorn in Bergie's side.

Ellie wasn't a troublemaker. Ellie had the highest standardized math scores of any Academy student in a decade. Ellie followed rules. But there was no mistaking that Bergie teetered on unstable heels—heels that even Emma wouldn't bother with—toward her.

Miss Dvorak, Bergie called.

Emma drew closer to her side. Why is she asking for you?

She's not, Ellie said. "She can't be, right? Why would she? I haven't done anything wrong. Or maybe she's looking for me because I've done something right. Like maybe I broke a record on my PSATs or—"

Chatter alert.

While it was easy to stop talking, it wasn't so easy to stop her teeth from chewing at the inside of her cheek.

Miss Dvorak! Bergie drew closer.

Ellie scrambled to her feet as Bergie reached the edge of their blanket, and Emma rose to her full and fabulous, if limited to five feet, height next to her. The headmistress heaved a few breaths even though she'd barely strutted a hundred feet.

Heads turned toward them. Ellie wet her lips and tried not to fidget. Yes, Headmistress Berg? Do you need something?

Couldn't you hear me calling? Really? Making me come all this way just to turn around. Come now. We must speak straightaway in my office.

Ellie's not taking appointments at this time, Emma said. Would you call back tomorrow during normal business hours?

Very amusing, dear, but this matter is between me and Miss Dvorak.

Of course, Headmistress, Ellie said, trying to elbow Emma aside. Out of the corner of her eye, she watched as Lizzie abandoned a forlorn Dante and charged her way toward their picnic blanket. Which meant there would be a scene. Ellie did not want a scene. While Emma might handle Bergie with charming wit, Lizzie's long-standing feud with Bergie was peppered with far more antagonism. I'll come by right after the picnic, Headmistress. Thank you! See you then. She tried to will Bergie away, but the beanpole stuck right where she was.

Miss Dvorak, I would not have come all the way out here unless the matter required immediate attention.

What's going on? Lizzie demanded, having reached them at the apple tree.

Nothing I can't handle, Ellie said.

Emma tugged Lizzie's denim sleeve. Headmistress Berg wants to speak to Ellie—alone—now.

Lizzie smirked. Over my dead body.

Your dramatics are unwarranted, Miss Egmont. Bergie's eyes darted to the slowly forming curious crowd. Let's settle this quickly and quietly, shall we?

Ellie felt every eye burning into her back—and why not? Lizzie had made no secret of her dislike for Bergie. It had been printed up in the press, announced on loudspeakers. The onlookers had their phones pointed, camera recorders
