“Hey, Jack.” Becca joins me in my walk across the cafeteria to our table.
Again?I expel my breath and turn to her. She keeps trying with me. What’s her deal? We haven’t fucked in the past. I don’t want her, but I’m curious why she keeps coming at me like I should.
“What’s up, Becca?”
She practically beams when I acknowledge her. I stop a few feet from our table and turn to look at her. She’s pretty enough and I wasn’t nearly as picky about girls as Luke was. I probably would have gone for her last year. Added another notch.
Twirling her blond hair around her finger, she looks up with her devious blue eyes. “Can’t I sayheyto you? You may have a‘girlfriend,’but I don’t mind.”
She actually uses air quotes. Like Harper isn’t really my girlfriend. I’ll make her regret ever thinking that out of all of us, I’d be the easy one to break.
“What are you looking for here, Becca? A fuck? A badge? A humiliation greater than you seeking me out and me rejecting you over and over again?” I arch an eyebrow. Honestly, what can she possibly want with me?
She backs up a step and her eyes narrow like she realizes she kicked a hornet’s nest.
I close the distance. “Or are you looking to make enemies? Do you think I’ll be tempted by you? That I’ll betray my word and my girl to fuck someone like you?”
I look her up and down dismissively. She doesn’t hold a candle to Harper. Anger burns through me. Fuck this girl.
“Are you just trying to stir the pot? Maybe make Harper jealous? Hope she goes crying back to wherever she came from?” I step back with a cruel smirk on my lips. Girls like this make me so fucking angry. They think they’re entitled to me just because I gave myself so freely before.
I’m dimly aware everyone in the cafeteria is watching my little play. Good, because she just volunteered to be a lesson for the rest of them.
There’s fear in her eyes now as she looks for an escape. But it’s too late for her.
“Well, Becca, what is it? How do you want to spin this game? Because I haven’t sought you out. You’ve come up to me multiple times now, expecting what? That I’ll be impressed with your nerve?”
She shrugs and decides to brazen it out. “I’m better than a lot of the other girls you’ve fucked.”
I chuckle. “And how exactly do you know that? Did you fuck them too?”
“What? No.” She looks confused.
“Then how do you know you’re better than them?” The room is quiet around us. Some people still set down trays and silverware scrapes plates, but otherwise, no one speaks.
“Why do you have to be so mean?” She straightens and glares. “It’s not like you don’t fuck everything that moves. And by everything, I mean, everything.”
My status as bi isn’t exactly common knowledge, but it definitely won’t hurt me. Everyone I care about knows about it and they accept me for who I am. Fuck, most of my classmates are probably bi or asexual or demi or pan. A few people might judge, but most just want people to be their authentic self.
I smirk and tap my lip while looking her up and down. “Okay, so what? You’re offended that I don’t want to fuck you?”
Becca sputters.
“That’s it, right?” I chuckle. I step in closer again and lower myself so our faces are level. “Guess what? I may have gotten around, but that’s over. So, get over yourself and go find someone else to fuck.”
She lowers her head and turns back to her table.
When I straighten, my gaze flows over the faces surrounding me. I shouldn’t have to announce to them what we’ve already told them over and over again. If they don’t want to be publicly humiliated, they’ll take the fucking hint.
When I sit at our table, Eli holds his fist out to me and I bump it.
“You’d think they’d get tired of being told no.” Luke shakes his head as he leans back in his chair. His gaze is trained on the door.
Nico comes in, but Harper and Caden aren’t with him. Nico’s brow furrows as he realizes they aren’t here. I take my phone out and track Harper’s GPS ring. She’s in a... closet?
Just to make sure, I pull up my phone tracking app and sure enough, Caden and Harper’s phones are in the closet. Good for them. I smirk and hold it to show Eli and Luke.
“So, what’s the situation now?” I lean in as Nico takes his seat. I show him my phone so he knows they’re tied up, but fine. “We’ll still have time with Harper after practice?”
