Ellis elbowed him hard in the side of the head and Riggs finally slid his feet out of the way and let him sit down. “You should have stayed,” Ellis told me. “We took the cover off the pool, it was epic.”
“Yeah, I heard.” I jammed half my burger in my mouth and wolfed it down. “Fucking why. It was freezing.”
“Not after ten drinks. Walker’s mom was definitely looking for you. Wanted to help find you a date. Since you’re so shy.”
I rolled my eyes to cover up a cringe and glanced over at Walker picking at his sandwich, barely listening or at least pretending not to. “Yeah, real fucking sorry I missed that,” I muttered.
Ellis laughed and cracked open his soda. “Tess can fucking party. You gotta quit bailing early. You miss all the good stuff.”
“Long week, I had to bounce.”
“More studying?” He raised up his eyebrows like he had a secret and I scowled.
“Yeah.”
“Sure love to fucking study. It’s like you can’t get enough or something.”
“You want me to flunk out or what?”
I jolted when someone put a hand on my shoulder and when everyone’s eyes went up, up, up, I didn’t need to turn around. I didn’t need to anyway, really. Caleb cast a shadow across the table that was unmistakable, just like the rest of him. I half turned in my seat and felt all sweaty with him standing there, not exactly sure how to act, not sure if he’d picked up any of that.
“Hey.” I swallowed. God, he was huge and his hand on my shoulder like that felt so good, and fuck, I wished I was back in the library staring at reference books while he stared at my ass instead of eating lunch with these idiots, and his hand and his shadow were definitely not getting my dick hard except they were. “What’s up?”
“You left this in the library.” He held my phone out and I took it, feeling like I was doing a terrible job of acting normal, like my hands probably looked like feet I was doing it so wrong.
I didn’t even remember having it out at the library, but my mind definitely hadn’t been focused on much. “Oh. Thanks.”
“Sure.” His eyes slid over me and then back up, a fraction of a second but it felt like slow motion, like the whole world was watching. Like Iwantedthe whole world to watch. But I didn’t. Did I? “See you later.”
“Tell us more about thatstudying, Press,” Ellis laughed before Caleb was even out of hearing distance. “You’re boning the Beast, I fucking know it. Bet he’s got a big dick.”
“He does,” Riggs said, scooping up stray tater tots off Ellis’s tray.
Ellis slapped his hand away. “The fuck. You have your own right in front of you, brain damage.” Then he shot him a sly look. “What do you know about big dicks?”
“I know you don’t have one.”
“That’s not what your mom said.”
Walker snorted. “You realize there’s a thin line between constant Milf jokes and needing straight up therapy for your mommy issues.”
“You realize there’s blah blah blah,” Ellis mocked him, tossing a tater tot in the air and catching it in his mouth. “You seen the Beast’s dick?” he asked, turning back to Riggs, willing and able to be inappropriate multiple ways at a time. “When?”
Not saying I wasn’t interested in that answer, but I tried not to looktoointerested. Or toouninterested,like someone who already knew exactly how big it was.
“I don’t know. Gym class. Showers. I see everyone’s dick, you don’t?”
“I don’t catalog it.”
“Whatever. Some are more memorable than others. Like yours, for instance, I have zero memory of. But I’m not afraid to keep tabs on my competition.”
Ellis laughed. “Unless you’re after Logan’s ass, Beast isn’t your competition, numbnuts.”
“Wait, are you being serious? I thought that was a joke.”
“He’s not being serious,” I muttered, not quite able to call it a joke because it wasn’t a joke, but I didn’t want to talk about it either.
“Caleb’s into guys?” Riggs asked, looking surprised.
