There’s no way, just wishful thinking on her part probably. That’s what you get for giving into the
crazy ones. Now that she’s had you two in the sheets, she thinks she’s got her claws in you
permanently.” Mateo supplies. My face goes beet red again. All this open, nonchalant talk is new for
“You two actually slept with her?” Sierra sounds appalled. “It was a very drunk and terrible mistake.”
Kota supplies.
“One she hopes you both will repeat. That’s why she keeps bringing the tequila.• Oliver mumbles
next to me.
I’m not completely stupid when it comes to six, but by what it sounds like these guys get up to, I am
less than an amateur. And this is not the group I want to learn from, I am going to permanently be
red from all the blushing. I sit up straight, she is going to try and kill me after this, I need to get home
quickly and hide. I will not get away with just simple beatdowns after they defended me and rejected
her so publicly.
“l just realized, I need to go. I have a big project I need to start on.” I am ready to climb over Dakota
and Cameron’s laps if I have to. I am seriously about to have a full blown panic attack and need to
go before I make a complete scene. “Please let me out” I look at Cam and I don’t know
what he sees in my eyes but he doesnt argue, just starts to shift and pushes Kota. I can feel my
breath pick up.
just a couple minutes and we can drop you at home.” Cameron looks at me worriedly.
“No, it’s okay, you guys are still eating. I was done
I say as Cameron shifted to put his hand on me, I dodged to the side a bit, far enough out of his
reach. “I’m just going to walk. It will help my food settle.” I turn quickly and head out before anyone
can argue with me.
Once out the door, I look around to see if she is waiting for me before darting behind the diner to
take my short cut through the woods. She doesn’t seem to ever want to look for me there, but she
will corner me if I’m walking down the sidewalk, been there, done that, no thank you. I’ve gotten
good at avoiding main roads as much as possible. Once I get to my backyard, I look everywhere
and my wolf and I sniff for anyone hiding out before dashing to my backdoor.
Once I am safely inside, I lock the back door and lean on it for a minute taking deep breaths. Once
felt calm, I went straight to my room where I stayed the rest of the weekend. Mateo tried knocking
once, but I ignored him completely, so he didn’t try to bother me after that. I did every bit of
homework I could and took a risk running at 4am Sunday morning. I figured I would be safe from
Kaley and her minions and the guys. The trio would be working on their beauty sleep and I don’t
think even they have the power to make someone watch me 24/7. It’s not that I’m afraid of them, I
think. I just don’t want any more trouble than I usually have.
She actually left me alone for two whole weeks. Which was weird, but that didn’t stop me from
jumping every time I heard my name or when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I know
something is coming and it’s just a matter of time. It’s too much to hope that she would leave me
alone for good because the guys have decided I am a part of their friend group and she clearly
wants that status. I do think having one or more of them around in between classes has kept her
away, for now.
I did my best to stay away from all the guys too, but as they all slowly discovered, I’m in a few of
their classes and they insisted that I sit near them and work with them. I wasn’t allowed to disappear
into the background. Thank the goddess that Kaley wasn’t in any of those classes. I just wasn’t sure
which people she had spying for her and I always made excuses to not walk with any of them for
too long so she rarely saw us together in the hallway. I even avoided my brother, who shouldn’t
have been an issue at all, but I don t know with her level of crazy, she may not have put together
that we are related and therefore he isn’t a romantic option for me. I’m sure Marnie sees me as a
complication for Mateo and that would be enough for Kaley to retaliate.
