Prologue

Sam stretched her legs out over the arm of the living room chair. She could hear her mom in the basement talking to Frothy. It was difficult to make out her mother's words while trying to listen to Carly on her cell phone, but it sounded to Sam like she was trying to teach the cat the advantages of using color-safe bleach. "Yeah…well, no. He didn't exactly 'invite' me. I mean, he kinda was just giving me reasons for why it might make sense. Did he say anything to you about asking me to go?"

"No, not at all. And, did I mention, 'wow'?" Carly pulled a Peppy Cola out of the fridge and brought it over to the kitchen counter. She moved the mouse to activate the computer. "You know, I wish you could come to Connecticut with me. I'm gonna miss not seeing you every day." She opened up her SplashFace account and checked her messages.

"Well, it's not your fault I don't have the grades. It's not like you didn't try all along to get me to do better in school. And anyway, we have webcams – we'll still see each other every day."

Carly smiled and gently ran her finger over the camera lens on her monitor. "Do you think you're gonna go?"

"To Boston to live with Freddie? Yeah, right. Dude, I'd rather eat glass."

"Seriously, Sam."

"Carls, I don't even know why he asked me. He couldn't have meant it for real. It's probably part of some weird practical joke, and if it is, he's gonna be sorry."
