T.J. Harlow lived in a two-story house with spare bedrooms for everyone since his older brother had already moved out a couple of years ago. His parents were well-off, and they tried to be ‘cool’ parents, so they didn’t care if T.J. had parties as long as no one got hurt or arrested. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was his parents and not his older brother that provided the booze for his parties.
“Good luck,” I replied before I went back to nursing my beer. No way was I going to get drunk with Edie here somewhere.
“No luck involved,” he smirked. “I already fingered her in the downstairs bathroom towards the back.”
“Jesus,” I swore, shaking my head, hating that I’d been him once.
“Yeah, I would have fucked her, but someone started banging on the door,” he went on. “So, we agreed to meet up later.”
I looked over at him. “Why do I need to know all this, Wells?”
The fucker grinned. “Just sharing.”
“Dude, speaking of sharing-”
“I don’t want to hear it,” I said,reallynot wanting to hear anything that Vince Acres had to say.
“Oh, you’ll want to hear this,” he insisted. Vince Acres was Lakeside’s star baseball player, and I was a saint compared to how he went through girls. “I just discovered that Macey Tillman doesn’t mind being watched.”
Fuck.
Macey Tillman was one of Calliope Fairfield’s good friends.
I turned to look at Vince. “Who is she here with tonight?” Vince’s blue eyes started darting around, not wanting to look me in the face. “I asked a fucking question, Acres.”
“Uhm…she…I think she came by herself, but…I mean…I saw her talking with Calliope earlier, so they might be hanging out,” he hedged.
“And Calliope was alone?”
“Uhm…well, there was a group of them hanging out,” he muttered.
I knew enough to know that almost the entire school had to be here. T.J.’s parties were legendary because of the free booze, so they were always crowded. Though the parties were mostly for juniors and seniors, it wasn’t unusual to see a freshman or sophomore running around. While T.J. did his best to keep the invites limited to the older crowd, some of the younger kids snuck by.
“Who’s with her?” I asked, making it clear that I was two seconds away from showing him my fists.
Letting out a heavy sigh, he said, “It was Calliope, Macey, Julie Banks, Deidra Willis, Tiffany Borelli, and…and Edie.” The look on my face must have been something else because he quickly added, “They weren’t doing anything but hanging out and bullshitting.”
“Was Edie drinking?”
Vince shrugged. “She had a bottle of water in her hand, but I dunno about anything else.”
“How did you find out that Macey likes an audience?” Dillon asked, and I just shot him a look. “Oh, c’mon, Lars. Don’t act like you’re not curious.”
“I couldn’t give two fucks what Macey Tillman is into,” I told him, meaning every fucking word.
He blinked in surprise, but what could I say? This thing with Edie had turned me into a person thatIwas even having difficulty recognizing. Before the beginning of this school year, I never would have given a second thought to all the locker room talk that happened around me. I wouldn’t have cared about Dillon oversharing his hookup with Valerie in the bathroom. The guys also wouldn’t be looking at me like I was cracked in the head for not wanting to hear more about Macey Tillman. Especially, since Macey Tillman was hot as fuck.
“Dude, what has gotten into you?” Dillon asked. “Vying for sainthood or something?”
Half-ass lying, I said, “I’ve just already been there, done that. You guys aren’t telling me anything that I don’t already know about these girls.”
“So, you already knew that Macey likes an audience?” Vince asked.
“I didn’t know that,” Dillon remarked.
“No,” I answered honestly. “I just don’tcareif she likes an audience. The last thing that I’m going to do is fuck a girl in public, so that my bare ass can be immortalized on the internet forever.”
“Yeah, but if she likes an audience, then maybe she doesn’t mind being shared, either,” Vince suggested, and the more that he talked, the more that I probably owed every female at Lakeside an apology.
