When I was standing and no longer in danger, the hands disappeared.
“Are you all right?” Hannah’s eyes filled with worry.
I nodded. “I think so.”
Everything had happened so fast. I wasn’t even sure what made me trip. I turned around searching the ground, but nothing stood out.
Hannah stood with her hands on her hips. “Come on, guys. Don’t mess with her. She’s new.”
I looked for who she was talking to but didn’t see anyone.
“Daniel. Malik. Come out.” She tapped her foot and waited.
Suddenly, a mountain lion appeared around the corner of the building, and I let out a shrill scream.
Hannah jerked and looked at me like I’d lost my mind. Did she not see the freaking wild cat coming toward us? I pointed and took a step back.
“Saige, that’s Daniel,” she said in a bored tone. “And that’s Malik behind him.”
I took my eyes off the terrifying animal long enough to see a smaller black animal behind him. Was that a skunk?
I scrunched my nose, ready to run.
In a blink, both animals morphed into teenage boys.
Naked teenage boys.
I covered my eyes, not caring that they were now laughing at me.
“Oh, man. Sheisnew,” one of the boys said.
“Put clothes on, you heathens,” Hannah hissed.
“Give us a second, geez. Not all of us have rings.”
“Sounds like a personal problem,” she muttered.
“One you could easily solve,” the other boy said in a sultry voice.
I nearly jumped out of my skin when one of them touched my arm. “You can look now, princess.”
I peeked through my fingers enough to see that both of them were now wearing sweatpants. I would have preferred shirts, too, but I wasn’t exactly in a position to make demands. New girl status rarely came with a ton of influence.
“Sorry we scared you.” The taller boy with dark brown skin and black hair that hung to his shoulders apologized. He was ridiculously muscular. Far too defined to be around our age.
“Yeah, we didn’t mean to make you fall.” The golden-haired boy with a friendly smile shrugged his tanned shoulders. He looked like a statue of a Greek god. Seriously, where did these boys come from? No one at my high school was nearly as attractive as they were.
I stared. “How did you make me fall? I didn’t even see you.”
“We ran right in front of you. Sorry, we were racing, and I wasn’t paying attention,” the brunette one said.
“Malik,” Hannah scolded him. “You guys need to be more careful.”
He rolled his eyes at her before looking back at me.
“Which one were you?” I asked before he could open his mouth.
He narrowed his eyes. “What?”
