“Oh my God!” Brooke cheers.
“What?” Jason’s brows furrow as he looks at me like I’ve lost my mind. “When?”
Now I make a face too. “After the party, when you tried to kiss me, half drunk, and we went upstairs.”
He keeps eyeing me like he has no clue what I’m talking about.
“After you finished your shower,” I mutter.
Everyone’s looking at me like they’re waiting for the clue, but there is none.
“Whatever.” I take another bite of my sandwich. “You were too drunk to remember anyway.”
“Well, if I got some pussy … I consider that a win regardless,” Jason says, throwing out an arrogant laugh. “Friends with benefits is cool too.”
I finish my sandwich and get up. “Time for more classes. See you guys later.”
“Bye, Lana!” Irina waves as I walk off.
I wave at everyone too, but when I turn around, the smile instantly disappears off my face. Something about that whole exchange just doesn’t sit right with me. Why wouldn’t Jason remember how he finally didn’t just think of his own pleasure but mine too? He’s always been a sex-obsessed maniac, and now he suddenly denies eating me out right after the party?
I shiver as a cold draft flows across campus, and I tie my scarf tighter around my neck.
But it’s not just the chill of the looming winter that makes me feel frigid.
Because I feel like, wherever I go, I’m being watched.

I clutchthe tree and glance at the girl walking closer and closer. My heart rate picks up with each step she takes.
God, if she is really that girl we met in that dirty house …
That vicious murderer …
This is going to be out-of-this-world amazing.
A grin spreads from ear to ear.
I can’t believe it’s really her, that she’s here out of all places. Crescent Vale City is huge, and to have her be a student here at Spine Ridge University is almost too good to be true.
But it is true.
She’s wearing that same red ribbon that girl was, and she walks with the same kind of swagger. Like she knows no one can touch her. And that kind of arrogance only comes with being a killer.
How many men has she destroyed before we met?
It’s the kind of violence unusual in a girl, and it’s riling me up to no end.
“So … that’s the girl who’s been keeping you busy, huh?”
I glance over my shoulder. “Blaine … Sneaking up on me again, I see.”
He folds his arms, a wicked smirk forming on his perfectly chiseled face. “I’m just doing the Lord’s work by keeping an eye on you.”
“I already regret telling you about her,” I say, rolling my eyes.
