Chapter 118 How The Smile Will Change

• You’re invited to a casual evening for meeting new friends and exploring new interests, Cade read. If he squinted a little, he could make it sound almost kinky. But while he was sure the frat boys had developed their own brands of debauchery, he doubted very much that they announced their intentions on cardstock invitations. No, this was… well, he had no idea what it was, and he wasn’t going to find out. He tossed the invitation onto the desk next to him. He’d put it in the recycling bin on his way out.
• “I heard about this!” Estelle said excitedly as she slipped into the seat beside him, grabbing the card. “A top frat and a top sorority, reaching out to the campus’s nerds. You got an invitation?” She was a fellow honors engineering student, the only serious challenge he had to his place at the top of the class. They’d managed to become friends despite the potential for competitiveness. Cade wasn’t there to beat other students, just to do the best he could, and he supposed Estelle felt the same way.
• But now, as she held the invitation almost reverently before her, Cade grinned. “You should go. I’ll be at the library studying, but I’m sure it’s a good idea for you to go chase cute frat boys instead.”
