Chapter 270: Friends with Unwanted Benefits, Part 1

Costume shopping had been a bust. With Halloween only a couple of weeks away, all the good costumes were gone, so Whitney had declared the party was off. That would make Trent happy.

"I should throw a Thanksgiving party instead," Whitney said. She lay on her stomach on my bed, legs in the air, ankles crossed.

"People don't have Thanksgiving parties." I laughed.

After shopping, Whitney had come home with me and Abby because she was tired of hanging out in a house full of guys. Aunt Beth didn't care that Whitney was here; in fact, I think she liked it because it meant Abby and I were home, too. Abby was in her room talking to Isach, leaving me and Whitney in my room.
