Alex followed a bit behind as they walked through the park. He was a little confused by Charlotte's comment. Why would she try to convince me to go to this party, and then turn around and say that?, he wondered. Is she playing hard to get or something? I certainly don't know. Alex was never sure about any of this stuff, so he just followed his incredibly good intuition, as usual. He decided to just take the comment literally, and roll with it however he had to.

"Does that mean we're crashing it?" he asked amiably. "If that's what you're worried about, don't be. I haven't done it too often, but I have definitely gotten away with it before." The only time Alex had ever been caught crashing a party, he was already in his dorm by the time they figured it out, and it was only because there were two people there who knew him. As a transfer student, this would be a cakewalk.
