I hated my family.

And even more than that, I hated the fact that I had no other choice but to leave behind the town I grew up in and move to Washington, to live with my mom's new family.

"I think she's finally getting laid tonight," Camilia said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world, as Phineas started the engine.

"Shut up, Cami!" I shook my head, glaring at her. "I've never seen a man naked in real life, not that I want to."

"You're going to die a virgin," Camilia remarked, and that fueled my annoyance more.

"She's
