âTrust me.â Damien stood and held out his hand the same way heâd done earlier.
âAll right.â Savannah lowered her hand into his and he pulled her up from the stool, closing the space between them. Savannahâs breath caught in her chest. He brushed a strand of hair off her face, his finger leaving a line of heat across her cheek. If they hadnât been surrounded by people, she would have thought he was about to kiss her. Or maybe he was about to kiss her. Right here, in front of everyone.

Courtney stared at Brett, feeling like she could get lost in his green eyes. Then she realised what she was thinking and she looked away, shaking the thought from her head. They would be stepsiblings soon. She couldnât help her reaction to him, but it wasnât appropriate.
Brett tried to say something, but the music drowned out his voice.
âWhat?â Courtney screamed, leaning towards him and cupping a hand around her ear. Her hand brushed against his shoulder and the contact made her stomach flip.
âWant to get out of here?â he asked.

âSo, what did you do last night?â Courtney asked Peyton as they passed the show. âI didnât hear you get back.â
âJust hung out with a friend.â Peyton replayed the night in her mind. After the fireworks at Myst, Oliver had said he was sick of his father watching his every move, so theyâd gone to another club. The drinks had flowed all night, so everything was hazy, but they couldnât keep their hands off each other. Since Oliver lived with his parents and Peyton lived with her sisters, Oliver had the brilliant idea of getting a room.
She smiled at the memory of what had happened once they got there.

Itâs about time campusbuzz got a high school forum. Iâm sure weâll have lots to talk about. Weâre young, weâre beautiful, and Vegas is our personal playground. But letâs save the whole âwhoâs the hottest girl/guy in the schoolâ stuff for later (although I fully expect to be mentioned in that discussion), because I just discovered something much better to talk about.
You know how the school started building a new (and much needed) gym in the beginning of summer? Itâs going to be named the Diamond Sports Center. And yes, by âDiamondâ I mean Adrian Diamond, the owner of the new Diamond Hotel and Casino, along with a bunch of other hotels on the Strip.
An anonymous source told me that three new girls with the last name of Diamond will be starting at the Goodman School in the fall. My guess is theyâre somehow related to Adrian and the school let them in because of the money he gave for the gym. Makes sense, right?
Except that I checked online and couldnât find anything about Adrian Diamond having a daughterâlet alone three of them!
Anyone got any info?

the internet says nothing about adrian diamond having any kids. sounds like your âsourcesâ donât know what theyâre talking about. maybe you can find something on facebook?

Facebookâs got over 165,000 people on it with the last name Diamond. Dumb idea.
