    About this ebook

    Lola Caraway is a nerdy freshman attending her first high school dance. Her long-time best friend, upperclassman James Laird, is there with one of his many girlfriends, popular cheerleader Kelsey Vaughn. James interrupts the over-amorous intentions of Lola's date and Kelsey gets mad when he shares a slow dance with his younger best friend. He decides to combat Kelsey's bossiness with a foray into domination and punishment in an unlocked classroom during the dance. Later, he learns how strong his bond with Lola really is and how highly he regards her opinion.

    This is the first short in the Vice & Virtue series, which follows James and Lola as they grow up and discover their true feelings for one another. This short also contains a sample of Vice, Virtue & Video, the first full-length novel in the series.

      Chapter 1 - Lola

      The school gym has been transformed into an autumn wonderland—well, as much as one can transform a gym on a public school budget. There are cardboard maple trees, orange and red streamers, Dollar Tree fall tablecloths on the scattering of tables at the edge of the dance floor, and even a disco ball. There’s a DJ set up under one of the basketball hoops, and loud Top 40 hits of the early 2000s are blaring over the speakers. The Fall Formal is in full effect, and I’m sharing my first high school slow dance to Aerosmith’s I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing with Marshall Kittredge, a super cute boy whom I’ve had a crush on since sixth grade—but who never paid any attention to me until I emerged from middle school stacked with a pair of D-cups.

      A lot of boys have started paying attention to me lately, which doesn’t sit well with my best friend, James. He’s three years older than me, and we’ve been best buds since his family moved into the house next door when I was in first grade. James is popular, particularly with the ladies at school. He’s been a huge flirt since he was about twelve, and by the time he turned seventeen, he had bedded more girls than Colin Farrell. It’s no surprise; he’s very good looking. He’s tall, standing well over six feet, his body looks like it was chiseled by Michelangelo himself, he’s got pouty lips, a square jaw, long, dark brown hair that he usually wears pulled low in a messy bun, hazel-green eyes, and a smile that could bring a girl to her knees—literally. Everyone makes over James. The girls practically swoon at their lockers when he comes down the hallway, and even the teachers are not immune to his charm. He once got Mrs. Peterson to give him a passing grade in Geography after a one-on-one
