A flurry of yeses echoed through the hallway, and then everyone scurried to their classes.

Jace wrapped an arm around Allie’s waist and pushed the tears off her cheek. “Allie, I’m so sorry. If I had known there was someone fucking watching us, I would’ve never done that. Fuck school. Let’s go home.”

“I can’t miss another day,” she whispered.

I scoffed. “If I can miss a day, you can too.” I grabbed her hand. “Come on.”

“Jace Harbor.” Principal Vaughn stepped out of his office with arms crossed over his chest and hairy gray brows furrowed in a furious stare at us. “My office. Now.”

Jace cursed and turned toward me. “Take Allie home.”

“Jace,” Allie whispered, shaking her head. “Don’t go.”

“My office now, Harbor,” Vaughn said.

Allie pulled herself out of my hold and walked to Jace’s side. “I’m coming too.”

“You have class,” Principal Vaughn said to her.

“Allie, go,” Jace said to her.

She crossed her arms over her chest. “No. If you expel him, you’re going to have to expel me, too, for what I did with him.” Allie looped her arm around Jace’s. “You can’t put the entire blame on him. He doesn’t deserve it.”

Jace removed her arm from his. “Go home, Allie. This isn’t your fight.”

Though he looked surprised at first, Principal Vaughn cleared his throat. “If that’s what you want, then I’d like to see both of you in my office.” He held the door open and pointed into the room, glaring between them.

“She doesn’t want that, sir,” Jace said through clenched teeth. “She’s going home. Now.”

“No, I’m not. You’re not going down alone.”

“My office now.”

Adrenaline rushed through my system. Allie didn’t deserve to go down for this. This wasn’t fair, and I wouldn’t let her go down without a fight. She was my best friend, and someone wanted to fuck around with her.

I stepped forward. “If you expel them, you’re going to have to expel me too. I fucked Poison in your office before school yesterday!”

Principal Vaughn, Allie, and Jace all looked over at me with wide eyes. I swallowed hard, ignored the gazes from other students, and uncomfortably crossed my arms over my chest. I gave Allie my best supportive smile and nudged her.

“That’s enough. I don’t want to hear about anyone else’s sexcapades. All three of you. Inside my office before I call security.” Principal Vaughn walked into his office and sat at his desk.

I wrapped my arms around Allie’s and walked with her into the room. Before I could shut the door behind us, João stuck the tip of his shoe between the door and the doorframe and shoved the door open, stepping into the room with Landon and now with Kai, who looked pissed the fuck off.

They walked into the room and locked the door behind them.

“You’re not expelling anyone,” João said to the principal, sliding his ass onto the desk and lighting a cigarette right in Vaughn’s face. “If you do, we’ll release your file to the community.”

Vaughn went to snatch the cigarette from João’s hand, but he pulled it away.

“Don’t you want to know which file? There are tons of them out there on you. And all the damn money in the world won’t save your ass this time.”

I stared at him in confusion for a moment, then remembered that Kai had stolen files off Vaughn’s computer yesterday morning and had been sifting through them all last night. He must’ve found something.

Principal Vaughn flared his nostrils. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“The cameras that you installed yourself in the locker rooms two years ago.”

All the blood drained from Vaughn’s face. Allie tensed and looked at Jace nervously.
