Happy Book Birthday, Patricia!
Pretend to be from Spain? Act like she can barely speak English? Sure, why not? It wouldn’t be the first time Gabby Vega had agreed to a challenge from her best friend, Kenzie. Besides, it’s only for a week of vacation with Kenzie’s cousins. Gabby will prove to Kenzie she can keep up the fake identity for the whole trip—that she’s not a quitter.There’s just one major surprise. Noah Jernigan is also staying with Kenzie’s cousins. Noah, the boy she fell in love with at drama camp last summer and the boy she had to dump when it was over. The boy who knows who she really is. Noah can’t believe it when Gabby appears at the Bryson’s vacation home in the New Mexico mountains. He hasn’t seen her in a year. It practically took that long just to get over her. And now she’s Gabriela from Spain? All he wants is to get as far away as he can. Or maybe the exact opposite. Stick as close to her as possible and find out what the heck happened last summer. And definitely get some payback. Now Gabby has to keep Noah at arm’s length as she pretends to be Gabriela. She doesn’t want to answer his questions or rehash last summer. Because one thing is clear—the more time she spends with Noah, the more she’s in danger of falling for him all over again.

I took a swig of Coke and chanced another look at Gabby. She was
staring at Kenzie who was describing the nearby town and things to
do. Gabby’s dark brown hair hung around her shoulders in loose
curls. I could still remember how it felt to wrap one of those silky
curls around my finger, and then let it slide free.
The conversation went on, but I wasn’t listening anymore. What
would it be like to run my hands through Gabby’s hair again, to
have her look only at me? And, as if she heard my thoughts, she made
eye contact. Her smile fell away. There was a weird look in her dark
brown eyes. One I’d never seen before. And then it sank in. Fear.
Gabby was afraid of me.
I turned back to my plate, but it was empty. I couldn’t remember
finishing the sandwich. A pasty taste filled my mouth, so I chugged
the rest of my soda. What did she have to be afraid of? I almost
laughed out loud. Stupid question. I knew who she was. I could ruin
her little game. The Spanish girl. Anger surged back through me.
The girl from Spain, who was really the girl from Austin, who was the
girl who’d dumped me, who was the girl I’d been in love with. It
had hurt. It was embarrassing how much it had hurt. Had she cared at
all? I doubted it.
But she was afraid. The opportunity for revenge appeared as easily as
if I’d asked someone at the table to pass it to me.
Hey, Geoff, pass the revenge.
Sure. Mind if I take some first?
Not at all. Help yourself.
Everything inside me settled into determination. No way was I going
home early. Not when I could spend a week getting back at Gabby Vega.
I smiled. She was scared of what I might do? Good. Because I was just
getting started.
