Biting my lip, I glower at Crew. “Better not have been you. Especially when you’re over there getting handsy with another girl.”
Did I really just say that out loud? What the fuck is wrong with me?
“Hate to break it to ya, babe,” Crew begins. “But the only ass I plan on tapping is the one sitting on my dick right now.”
My mouth drops open to speak, but no words come out. I think I’m in shock, really. The old Crew would have never been so cruel. I’m not sure if I should be angry, jealous, or hurt. Either way, I choose violence. “In that case, Hannah, you might wanna drink until you get double vision in hopes that it’ll double the size of his penis.” I click my tongue on the roof of my mouth, pinching my fingers together in the air. “It’s pretty small.”
“Okay,” Jagger says, grabbing one of my drinks from my hand, “I think it’s time to cut you off.”
“What? No! I was only kidding. Like I’d know how big Crew’s penis is.” Once again, I’ve put my foot in my mouth. This is exactly why I’m not social.
“Come on, Hannah.” Crew takes her hand and pulls her until she’s standing in the water. He steps out, leading the way. “You, too, Riley. Come with us.”
“Me?” She slaps a hand to her chest, splashing water on her own face. She and I share a look before she glances back at Crew. “Why me?”
He winks at her. “Because two's better than one.”
Riley hesitates, but when Crew says, “Lawless rules.” She sighs and gets up. “Are you good?” she asks me before getting out.
“I’m great.”
Once she’s out of the water and has her towel wrapped around her waist, she comes over to me and whispers, “I’m sorry. Seems I have to go, though.”
“Just be careful. Okay?”
Riley nods before padding her feet through the muck to a still flirting Hannah and Crew. I know Riley won’t partake in their festivities. She doesn’t really strike me as the orgy type. But I’ve got no doubt Crew and Hannah will be hooking up.
I look around at the rest of the people here and everyone is quiet. Neo’s puffing on a joint with Melody.His eyes are bloodshot and glossed over and he looks bored as fuck.
“Hey,” Jagger says quietly, “you’re not still into him, are you?”
“Fuuuuuck no.” I take a drink of the one I’m still holding, this one a beer. It’s warm and disgusting, but I drink it anyway. “For the record, I was never into Crew. We were both going through shit, the same shit we all went through, and we had comfort sex. Nothing more, nothing less.”
I’m not sure why I’m feeding Jagger these unnecessary lies. We aren’t friends. He’s one third of the reason my plans went to hell.
“Good. So him hooking up with ninety percent of the girls at The Academy won’t bother you one bit.”
“Is that a question? Because no, I don’t care who Crew hooks up with. The only person I’d be concerned about is Riley. So far, she’s the only decent girl I’ve met.”
Jagger takes a drink, laughing into the mouth of his bottle.
“Why is that funny?”
“Riley’s a nice person, but so are most of the students at BCA. Just remember, people aren’t always what they seem. You’re proof of that.”
“Me?” I clap a hand to my chest. “What did I do?”
“Come on, Scar. You’ve changed just as much as the rest of us. What once was a quiet girl with her face in a book is now a girl who says fuck like it’s a sentence and drinks like a fish. Lest we not forget, you did beat Crew’s ass.”
Neo starts laughing, and it’s an odd sound coming from him.
“Crew deserved everything he got and let it be known, I have no problem kicking both your asses if you continue to fuck with me. I don’t care how civil you’re being at this moment. My guard is not down. Not even a little.”
“Duly noted.”
Neo laughs again. This time it’s followed by the hefty laughter of Melody.
“Is she always like this?” I hear Melody ask, regarding me.
