My hands ball into fists. I march over, determined to make him eat my boot, but the moment our eyes connect, lightning practically crackles between us.
“Hey, Lana!” Irina says.
“Oh hey, Lana, didn’t see you there,” Brooke says.
But I grab them by the arms and drag them away from Milo. “Don’t talk to him.”
“What? Why?” Irina asks.
“Yeah, Lana, why can’t they talk to me?”
His voice grates on me already, and he’s right behind me too.
“I’m nice.”
Sure you are, Mr. “Nice guy” Killer.
“He’s a Phantom; they can’t be trusted,” I hiss. “You said it yourself.”
“But he’s only talking with us,” Brooke responds.
“Hey, what’s going on?” Crystal asks, approaching us.
“Just … don’t interact with any of them,” I tell my friends. “They’re … not good people.”
“You seem to know an awful lot about someone you don’t know,” Milo butts in.
I turn around to face him and shove my finger into his chest. “Stay away from them.”
“Or what?” He tilts his head, and that same wicked smile appears on his face again, his eyes glinting with excitement. “You gonna puncture me with that heel?”
“Don’t tempt me,” I growl.
He leans in. “You’re turning me on.”
One more word out of that mouth, and I swear to God I will personally castrate him.
“Go on … do it,” he eggs me on.
“What did you say to them?” I hiss.
“Afraid?” he muses.
Fuck. Is he going to tell them about what I did that night?
Or did he already fill them in, and are they all pretending they don’t know?
“Guys, guys,” Crystal says, pushing us apart. “Don’t fight. Can’t we all just be friends?”
“No,” I bark back.
“What’s going on here?”
A voice behind me makes chills run up and down my spine.
I know that voice.
“Oh hey, Nathan,” Crystal says, and she immediately runs to give him a big hug. “We haven’t talked in such a long time. How are you feeling? Is your leg better yet?”
