“You … you watched her kill.”

The moment the word leaves my lips, he immediately spins around and smashes his hand against my mouth. “Don’t. Don’t ever say those words again.”

A wretched smile forms on my lips when he removes his fingers.

I know their fucking secret now, and I didn’t even have to snoop in either of their rooms to find out. Villainous.

“Don’t talk about her. As a matter of fact, don’t ever talktoher.”

I snort. “You think you dictate who I talk to?”

He narrows his eyes at me. “If you value your life.”

Is that a threat?

The filthy smirk on my face only deepens.

Now that is what I call a proper challenge.

CHAPTER 5

Sunny

I stuffa strawberry into my mouth while scrolling through my second phone’s list at lunch, searching endlessly for the next person on my hit list. I just know one of these fuckers has more information. The only question is: How am I going to make them talk?

I mean, I know how to chop off some fingers, but some dingleberry once said torture doesn’t actually make a person spill the correct beans … they just spill any bean and hope you’re satisfied.

I don’t need more lies.

I need them to point me in the exact direction I require.

Dammit. If only that motherfucker hadn’t gone into hiding.

Grumbling, I put my phone down on the table and scarf down more strawberries coated in Nutella while trying to blend in with my group of girls happily chatting about their day.

“Wow … You look like you’re having a great time.” Levi’s voice grates on my soul. “What are you doing?” He plants both his hands on my shoulders, and I place my phone face down on the table in front of me.

“Nothing. Why are you bothering me?”

“I’m just checking in on my favorite sister.”

I roll my eyes. “You don’t have another sister.”

He flops down beside me. “Exactly, so it’s important to stay up to date on the one I do have. So how are you doing, sis?”

“Hi Levi,” my friend Delilah says, throwing him a cutesy smile as she stops eating her salad just because he’s arrived.

“He’s taken,” I tell her, and her mood instantly sours.

“Well, that doesn’t change the fact that he’s hot,” one of the other girls, Vivian, says.

“Thanks,” Levi says, winking at her. “She’s right, though. I am taken.”

I tilt my head, annoyed he’s here. “Don’t you have someone else to bother?”

“No.”

“Your girlfriend is waiting for you,” I say.
