Fuck me.“I won’t.”
She looked me over once more before nodding in approval. “You’re beautiful.”
Well shit.“Likewise.”
“Hm.” Her lips tipped up. “So, do you have a name, boy-who-can-think-for-himself?”
“Does it matter?” I countered, needing to regain some ground I had lost to this powerhouse of a girl. “We both know that you’ll be calling me baby by the end of the day.”
She licked her lips to bury her smile. “Is that so?”
I stepped closer. “You tell me, blondie.”
Now, she did, and it was a glorious sight. “Okay, that was seriously smooth.”
I smirked. “Thanks.”
“I’m Aoife,” she laughed, holding her hand out to me.
“Joey,” I replied, accepting her small hand in mine.
“Joey.” Shaking my hand, she tilted her head to one side, and studied me without a hint of shyness. “Your name suits you.”
“I could say the same thing about you,” I replied. “Your name means radiance and beauty, right?”
She grinned. “You know your Irish.”
Yeah, I knew my Irish, but notthatwell.
There had been a girl in my class at primary school named Aoife, who had constantly droned on about how she had been named after an Irish warrior queen, with a level of beauty that was rumored to rival that of Helen of Troy.
I wasn’t, however, about to tellthisparticular Aoife that.
Not when I needed every advantage I could get.
“So, what class have you been assigned to?” she asked, retrieving her folded-up timetable from the pocket of her short, pleated skirt. “I’m in First Year 3.”
Fuck if I knew.
I straightened out the crumpled-up ball of paper that was my class timetable for the school year. I was fucking thrilled when I read the wordsFirst Year 3on the page. “Same here.”
She was in my class.
Get in there!
Maybe my luckwaschanging.
“So, you’re as mediocre a student as I am,” she laughed. “My brother got assigned to First Year 1. That’s the class for the brainiacs.”
“You’re a twin?”
She nodded. “For my sins.”
“So, we’re the third smartest class?”
“Or the third thickest,” she laughed. “Whichever way your glass is filled.”
“Why? How many classes has our year been split into?”
