In the midst of realizing just how sweet the romance can be between them, and all the benefits of their new dynamic, Reagan is informed that her ideal situation has changed. Not only will she need to begin taking on more classes to speed up her graduation date, but she’ll also have to start looking for a job to supplement her fading income.

Excerpt:
Reagan’s time with Ian was never long enough. Not really.
Not when she was still used to having him in her life every day – man she’d
really taken that for granted, hadn’t she? But her moments with him now were
sweeter, more complete. And the remainder of the weekend had passed without any
other dramatic events. It would hold her over until the next time they could
steal some time together. At least, she hoped it would.
But now it was over. And she was back to her regular
schedule. Except this week was a little different. This week
she’d throw her new internship into the mix and learn just how good of a
juggler she could be – her class schedule, new assignments, friendships, her
relationship, the internship and anything else that the universe cared to throw
at her. It was no joke, that was for sure, and Reagan was beginning to feel all
of the pressures that the outside world held for her once she graduated. But
she could manage it, she remind herself as she changed clothes for her new
role. She didn’t have any other choice but to make it all work somehow.
After having picked up a few new outfits to compliment her
new important role – using some of the money she’d kept from the club, of
course - Petra had helped her coordinate the rest of her wardrobe to expand her
options. And the result was at least a couple weeks worth of choices that had
left her feeling confident, appropriate, and ready to impress. Every little
detail counted, and her poise when she stepped through the large glass doors
that first day spoke volumes toward her ambitions. Reagan had set herself up to
succeed in every possible way.
Having no real instruction with which to work from on how to
approach her first day, she strode up to the receptionist, who this time
greeted her with a friendly smile. Success already, she thought to
herself, and her smile widened that much more. “Welcome back Reagan.” The woman
began. “You’re all going to be starting in the conference room today. Around
that corner and through the second door.”
“All?” Reagan had known she wasn’t the only intern, but the
phrase made it seem like there was an army in attendance, and the thought sent
a little shiver of nerves up her spine.
“There’s three of you. You have a quick orientation
together, then it’s all smooth sailing from there.”
Reagan nodded as she contemplated this answer. Nothing was
ever exactly smooth sailing when you threw a bunch of competitive girls
together and told them to battle it out to impress the new boss. But one could
always hope for the best...
The heels she’d chosen tapped lightly as she clipped down
the slick hall and toward the door marked, Conference, #2. She noticed
her hand trembling as she lifted it to turn the handle. Taking a deep breath,
she tried to let go of all her anxious energy – just be yourself, she
lectured – then she forced a huge smile over her face.
But when she stepped through the door, her face immediately
fell. All the calm composure she’d just summoned drained from her body and left
her face as white as the stark walls. The shaking returned, only it wasn’t from
nerves now. Her body was riddled with anger, contempt and yes, even a little
humor as she considered the universe’s latest irony.
Because the first person to turn around when she stepped
into the room was Isabella. The Isabella. The Isabella who had stolen
her boyfriend. Who had tried to seduce Ian. And had otherwise made her
existence miserable. The Isabella who had ruined spring break, nearly ruined
Petra’s party, and had caused Reagan to question almost everything she knew
about people. That Isabella was nearly three feet away from her, dressed
in a fitted color-block dress she’d probably picked up at Bebe just to show off
her flawless figure. Apparently, whatever dislike Reagan had for her was a
mutual feeling, since she was smirking in recognition as she gave Reagan a
long, lingering, stare meant to intimidate and demean without saying a single
word.
“You’ve got to be
kidding me.” The words slipped from Reagan’s lips before she could stop them,
and she found herself regretting the thought the moment she’d heard it.
