“That William Lewis really thinks a lot of himself,” I said. “He’s such a smartarse.” “Hhmm,”said Lucy, grinning. “That’s what he said about you too.” “He did? What a cheek! God, he annoys me. I really hate him.” Lucy, TJ, and Izzie exchanged knowing looks. “Yeah sure,” said TJ. “You hate him.” Nesta’s life is thrown into upheaval when she gets involved in charity work thinking that it might be a cool way to meet people (mainly boys).
