I pocketed my cell phone,unable to wipe the smug expression off my face for the rest of class. Everyone expected me to do the whole Homecoming thing in Monroe’s stead, and I would. But as soon as the king and queen announcements were made, I was out of there.
Because the prospect of spending the night with Lily was far more enticing.

I arrivedat the stadium first. Dad had been in a foul mood and since he’d barely managed an apology for the fading bruise on my cheek, I decided to take off early.
I hadn’t expected to find Lindsey lying in wait.
I groaned as she climbed out of her car and made a beeline for me. “Hey, Kaiden,” she said. “I was hoping you’d show early.”
“I don’t have time for this,” I said, slinging my bag over my shoulder and heading for the entrance.
“Actually, I think you will when you hear what I have to say.”
Something about the smugness in her voice stopped me in my tracks and I turned slowly, to meet her knowing smirk. “What do you want, Lindsey?”
“In short?” She stepped toward me. “You.”
“I already told you. I’m not interested.”
“Because of her, right? Lily?”
No.
No!
There was no fucking way she knew… and yet, it wasn’t the first time she’d alluded to knowingsomething.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said coolly.
“Kaiden, Kaiden, Kaiden, so reckless. What do you think Coach Ford would say if he knew his new star player was dirtying up his precious, innocent Lily at the fairground?
Fuck.
She knew.
Somehow, she knew what had happened that night.
Anger surged through me. I still didn’t understand her endgame, but I didn’t take kindly to being threatened. I closed the distance between us, glaring down at her. “I don’t know what you think you know but you’re wrong.”
“Am I? So, this isn’t you and Lily at the fair?” She pulled out her phone and thrust it in my face, a grainy video of the two of us in the shadows kissing. Doing a lot more than just kissing.
It was poor quality, but still dead obvious.
Fucking hell.
Fuck!
“What do you want?”
“I want to negotiate, of course.” The sickly-sweet tone in her voice grated on me. “You go to Homecoming with me, as my date.”
“No. No fucking way.”
“If you don’t, I’ll send the video out to every kid at school and everyone will know exactly what kind of girl Lily Ford is.”
“Why?” My jaw popped. “Why are you so determined to ruin her?”
