CHAPTER16
Evie
It’s no surprise Kat comes to investigate when I slam my bedroom door shut later that afternoon.
“Good first day, huh?”
“Leave me alone.”
“Wow, you don’t sound like a sulky teenager at all.”
I snuggle deeper into my pillow, but Kat just can’t catch a fucking hint. My mattress sinks down as she sits beside me, then she’s stroking my hair.
“Let me guess… boy trouble?”
I twist over to glare at her. “How the hell would you know?”
She winds a lock of her blue hair around her finger. It might just be the light in here, but it’s not as vibrant as it was on the weekend. “I’m a little psychic.”
I roll my eyes at her and turn my back. “Good God. Just leave me alone, would you?”
“Hmmm… I’m picking up something. Does this have anything to do with a tall, handsome stranger named Owen?”
I roll onto my back, slapping my hands onto my belly as I stare at her. “So what if it does? What does the All Seeing Kat say I should do about it?”
Kat stands, toying with her hair as she starts moving around my room, gliding her hands over my furniture, peeking in my nightstand drawer. I watch her entire performance through narrowed eyes, waiting for the other shoe to drop.
“I told you to stay away from him.”
“It’s not like I wasn’t trying.” I put my hands over my face. “He’s stalking me or something. Everywhere I look, there he is.”
I’m not exaggerating. After I came so hard I saw stars, I was determined to put at least half a campus width between me and Owen. But every time I finished a class, I’d see him in the hallway. He was watching me in the cafeteria. And he drove past me on a golf cart when I was walking home.
He’d slowed down like he was considering offering me a lift, but then he’d just scowled and carried on driving.
Jerk.
And every time he’d give me the same dead-eyed look he gave me in the bell tower, when I thanked him for proving what an asshole he was.
I mean, he spanked me so hard I could barely sit through my classes. I had to eat lunchstanding up. And what did he do when I told him to stop? He shoved a finger up my butthole.And he has the audacity to look at me like I’m the bitch?
I shouldn’t even have bothered going to class after that. I was in so much pain, I couldn’t concentrate on any of my lessons. And, to make matters worse, I kept thinking back to what happened in the tower.
But I can’t tell Kat any of this, because eventhinkingabout it turns my face beet red.
“See? Told you I was gifted.”
“Well, congratulations. Now how do Ifixit?”
Kat laughs. “Oh, honey, there’s no fixing what you have.”
I glare at her. “Don’t you dare.”
She shrugs. “Tell me I’m wrong.”
“He’s ananimal,” I hiss at her.
“Me thinks the lady doth protest too much.”
