A mental image of Hudson chasing the other boys around the house with a plastic knife appeared in my mind, and I snorted at the thought. He turned the knife so it was pointed at me.

“You think it’s funny?” he asked. “I’m not above killing you too.”

“I’d like to see you try.”

“I wouldn’t recommend it,” Sloane intervened. “I know she looks innocent, but she could take you.”

“Give me a time, and place, and we can test it out,” Hudson said, waggling his eyebrows at me.

“Careful,” I said. I opened Twitter on my phone and started typing. “You wouldn’t want me to tweet about Hudson Shaw threatening my life, would you? Can’t imagine that would go over with the press or—hey!”

Hudson leaned over so far that he was practically on top of me as he tried to grab my phone out of my hand. I let out a weird mix of a laugh and a shriek as I practically fell on top of Neil, who was sitting next to me. He was no help, as he just slid down the bench, letting me fall completely on my back.

“Got it!” Hudson said. He grabbed my phone from my hand and quickly deletedthe tweet. Still laughing, I tried to grab it back from him, but he sat up and leaned the other way, towards Jude. I couldn’t see the screen of the phone anymore, but if I had to guess, I’d say the two of them were taking some stupid selfies on it. I shook my head and sat up, smoothing my hair with one hand.

“You didn’t need to tackle me for it,” I said, grinning at him. “I only have like ten twitter followers anyway.”

“Not anymore,” Jude said.

I frowned. “What?”

I highly doubted that my follower count had changed that significantly since I last checked it two days ago, and even more than that, I doubted that Jude Turner, of all people, would know what it was.

“Followed you,” Hudson said. He tossed the phone back to me, and I threw my hands out to catch it. I fumbled a few times, but didn’t drop it. “And just sent your twitter handle to all the guys, so they can follow you too. I imagine you’re going to be gaining followers by the second now.”

“Why did you follow me?” I asked. My voice raised half an octave, like it always did when I was confused.

“Why not?” he asked. “You’re my guide. It only makes sense.”

I didn’t quite follow his logic there, but I didn’t bother to question him further. I swiped over to my profile, and my eyes widened in school as I realized I already had over a hundred new followers from the past couple of minutes. Their fans movedfast. I’dnever imagined I would have this many followers on anything, and I didn’t really know how to react. Sure, this was probably a normal amount to most people, but it wasn’t a normal amount to me.

I sighed and decided I should tweet something to let everyone know what they were in for. First, I changed my name. And then I sent out a simple tweet:
