Once I’m outside, I can’t help stealing a look behind me. Gareth has both hands in his pockets as he watches me with a blank expression that somehow makes me uneasy.
I leave with images of Cherry and Killian assaulting my head. Even as I make myself think that I absolutely do not care.
I don’t.
Right?
* * *
Maybe I do care a little.
Or a lot.
Considering I haven’t been able to sleep.
After I sneak into the flat, I think I hear moans of pain. But after close inspection, it’s only Ava’s cello. Cecily’s light is out, so she must be asleep.
Me? I toss and turn in bed for half an hour, picturing Killian on top of that blonde. In my imagination, he’s thrusting inside her and roughening her up as she likes it and—
I stuff my face with a pillow in an attempt to shoo the image away.
Then I roll onto my back and open my Instagram app. The first image that comes up is a selfie of Annika, pouting while leaning on one hand as the sun glows from the tall French doors behind her.
There’s beautiful and then there’s photogenic beauty like Anni’s.
She captioned her picture ‘Bored. Tell me something about yourself.’
The first comment that appears is from lord-remington-astor.
My lack of knowledge on Greek literature has always been my Achilles' elbow.
Annika answers with a line of laughing-out-loud emojis. Then she and Remi keep talking back and forth for like twenty comments in the midst of which they tag Creigh five times, but he doesn’t honor them with a response.
Wait. Did these two actually make an Instagram account for Creighton?
I scroll down to find another comment from a familiar name.
nikolai_sokolov:Might want to delete this before Jeremy does his night patrol.
I click on his profile and find that he has tens of thousands of followers. No kidding.
Nikolai’s profile has a whole dark grungy mood. It’s full of smoky pictures, fighting pictures, and among them are weird family ones that don’t fit. In one, he’s surrounded by two stunning identical blondes who are laughing at the camera as he frowns.
Still trying to deceive me, but I know the one on the left is Maya… Right?
There’s a screenshot from what looks to be a group chat with an interesting caption.
Surrounded by idiots.
Gareth:Group study?
Nikolai:I have a better idea. Group sex.
Gareth:Gross.
Jeremy:Try again in a hundred years.
Killian:I’m blocking you.
