Raven’s brow curves upward. “Why’s she a total lunatic?”
I give her areally?look. “She just chased me through the school hallway and across the parking lot.”
“You didn’t have to run from her,” she reminds me. “You could’ve just heard what she had to say.”
“I pretty much know what she has to say,” I mumble with a sigh.
“How?” she questions. “Because you’re a mind reader.”
Harlow giggles. “Dude, he probably thinks he is.”
I lean forward and elevate my brows. “Ithink that? You literally tried to convince me you were one like an hour ago.”
“That’s because I am one,” she quips with a sassy smile.
Raven laughs at that.
Great. I’m outnumbered.
Maybe I should’ve taken my chances with Katy.
No, I take that back.
“Why were you running from her anyway?” Raven wonders, reclining back in the seat with her eyes trained on me.
I’ll admit, it’s a lot to take in—her full attention on me. I know this is going to sound odd, but usually, when people look at me, they’re not really looking at me. Or, well, what’s underneath my good looks and wealth. Raven, though, she genuinely wants to know the answer to her question, wants to know what’s going on with me.
It’s hard to take in.
And I really don’t want to tell her, because it’ll make me sound bad. And I don’t want to sound bad to her.
“I already told you—because she’s a total lunatic.” I give a teasing grin.
Her lips quirk into an adorable half-grin. “Okay, say she is a total lunatic; that still doesn’t explain in detail why she was chasing you across a school parking lot.”
I don’t want to tell her, don’t want to explain to her that I hooked up with Katy and that it more than likely has something to do with that.
“He probably hooked up with her,” Harlow chimes in. “And now she wants to be boyfriend and girlfriend.” She sneers the last part.
I slant forward to glare at Harlow, but she only gives a cheeky grin.
“Thanks for that,” I tell her dryly.
“You’re welcome,” she replies cheerfully. “I don’t know why you’re trying to keep your manwhore status a secret. Katy already told Raven all about you and your friends.”
My gaze drifts to Raven. “You talked to Katy?”
She nods, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. “It was right before I met Harlow.”
“And she told you about me, Zay, and Jax?” I question.
What a brave, stupid girl. Katy, I mean. She should know better than to gossip about me and my friends. If word gets back to Zay, he’ll want to retaliate. Not like physically or anything like that. No, Zay likes to plot his revenge way more discreetly, through hacking and destroying people’s lives via the internet.
“What all did she tell you?” I ask Raven while stretching my arm across the back of the seat, right behind her.
She lifts a shoulder. “I don’t know. She basically just said you guys were scary and that I should stay away from you. She also already told me you two hooked up.”
“She really told you that.”
