“What’s in it for you, Captain?” Ronan demands.
“Knight asked me to, and I quote, ‘keep your octopus hands off Kimberly’. I’m just being a good sport here.”
Somehow, I don’t believe that Cole is being a good sport for no reason. Even Elsa said there must be something in it for him.
“I agree.” Aiden strokes his finger on Elsa’s waist. “Reed is the reason Knight won the case against the human rights court.”
My cheeks heat at the meaning behind his words and Elsa elbows him; so that means he must’ve told her about it. I wouldn’t be surprised; Aiden doesn’t keep anything from her.
“Human rights court?” Ronan stares between us.
“Knight’s virginity.” Cole hits his shoulder. “Keep up, Astor.”
“Wait a fucking minute.” The expression on Ronan’s face is to die for. It’s like he just realised the world is ending and he’s the last to know. “Knight is a virgin?”
“Was.” Aiden smirks at me and it takes everything in me not to hide.
“What the fuck?” Ronan shouts. “What’s with all the girls he took to those rooms and –”
“It was just a ploy,” Cole says, and I can’t help smiling.
“The sneaky fucker. Who else didn’t know?” Ronan stares at us and when no one answers, he snaps, “Only me?”
“If you want to blame someone, start with your big mouth,” Cole says.
“That’s it. Friendship is over.”
“You won’t see me complaining about
that,” Aiden says.
Ronan flips him off and turns around.
“Are you coming to the Meet Up later?” Cole shouts behind his back.
“Fuck you and the Meet Up, Captain.”
“How about the game night?” Elsa asks.
“Only for you, Ellie.” He glances back and winks at me. “And Kimmy.”
We both smile at him and he winks again.
While staring behind him, he bumps into Teal, who loses her balance and falls on her butt.
Some of the students snicker at the impact of the fall.
She glares up at Ronan, who instead of offering her his hand, shoves them both in his pockets, sidesteps her, and pretends she doesn’t exist.
What the hell?
That’s not the Ronan we know. He might act bitter, but he’s not a dick.
Elsa and I rush to help Teal, but she’s already on her feet.
“Are you okay?” Elsa retrieves Teal’s bag and gathers the books that have fallen on the floor.
“I’m fine.”
