“What I do is none of your business!” I scream.
He sputters before gathering himself. “Y… you fucked my best friend, and it looks like some of his friends too. What’s wrong with you? You’redisgusting,” he sneers at me.
Oh no he didn’t.
I step toward him and push him in the shoulders as hard as I can. It barely impacts him, and he shifts only enough to offset my shove. Neither the gravity of my effort, nor my anger, are lost on him, though.
“I’m disgusting?Me? What about you, running around New York like a goddamn pig, sleeping with any woman who parts her legs for you? You think that’s respectable? You think that’s classy? Just because you’re a guy?”
His open mouth slowly closes. While he’s taken aback, I continue my tirade.
“You’rethe disgusting one, talking about women like they’re nothing but objects, like they have nothing to offer you beyond their vaginas and mouths—”
Andy cuts me off with a booming laugh so unexpected I halt my outburst. Now recovered, he takes a step back toward me and looms over me with a finger in my face. Jasper is somewhere to our side, waving his arms and saying something, but nothing is registering. I am solely focused on my brother and his asshole-ness.
“You,” he laughs again, spittle flying from his mouth, “have a lot of nerve talking about the other girls in New York. They aren’tfucking three guys. You’re the biggest whore of all.”
I raise my arm to slap him across the face, but of course he catches it, pulling me into a painful twist.
“And you know what, my trampy little sister, your buddy over there is not as innocent as you might think. He got a little action last night, himself.”
Oh.
Of all the things Andy spews in my face, this is the only one that knocks me off my feet. And I have no idea why.
But he sees this and capitalizes on it.
“Tell her, Jas. Tell her what your night was like, why don’t you?” he scoffs.
“Quit being an asshole, Andy. You know I didn’t do anything. I’m not like you—”
Andy’s head snaps in Jasper’s direction, and I wonder if they’re going to start fighting again. “Likeme? What the hell does that mean?”
With Andy focused on Jasper, I shove him again, so hard he backs up against the front door. Then, I run and grab his duffel bag, shove anything in it I can see is his, and jam it into his stomach.
“Get out!” I scream. “Get the fuck out!”
He looks at Jasper like he expects to be defended, but then it dawns on him that ship has sailed.
“You know what?” he hisses, throwing his duffel over his shoulder, “you two deserve each other. Couple of losers, you are.”
He slams the door so hard a picture falls off the wall, and I don’t care. I don’t care about anything, and run back to my room and lock my door.

“Glenda would liketo see you in her office.”
I look up to see Pain in the Ass jeering over the wall of my cube, looking like she just won the lottery.
Just what I need.
“Seems like she wants to talk to you about somethingimportant,” she sing-songs.
I stand, gathering a notebook and pen. Glenda likes us to be prepared. “Thanks, Pia,” I chirp. “Now why don’t you get back to your desk and pretend to do some work?”
