“Bellamy!” Six shrieks, a smile across her face.

“Oh my god, that’s the hottest thing I’ve ever heard.” Nera says, taking a long sip of her mimosa. “I didn’t even know you guys had kissed.”

“We hadn’t.” I say, before adding. “We haven’t.”

She chokes on her mimosa as Thayer laughs delightedly. “You kinky bitch, who are you? I didn’t know you had it in you.”

“This isn’t a good story.” I say, glumly. “He was an asshole.”

Six brings a fresh bottle of champagne from the fridge and sets it on the center of the table.

“Tell us everything.” She demands.

???

“What a dickhead!” Nera says, disgustedly.

Fifteen minutes later, I’ve relayed the events of last night, wrapping up my story with his parting jab to me.

“I’m not even surprised,” Six says, “That’s what he does. He plays with girls then tosses them aside like they’re nothing. No offense.” She adds, realizing what she said.

“None taken. Believe me, I’m fully aware that I temporarily lost my mind last night.”

“Too bad he’s Satan’s offspring and we have to hate him for all eternity because he’s seriously hot.” Thayer adds wistfully. “I mean what a waste of a good gene pool. It should be illegal to be that attractive.”

“I hadn’t noticed.” I reply, primly.

“Bellamy, please. Don’t lie to your elders.”

“You’re literally 3 weeks older than me.”

“You can hate him for being the asshole he is, but objectively the man is attractive. And the angry, toxic vibe? It works.”

“There’s something wrong with you.”

“Thank you.” she replies cheerfully.

I grin into my glass, but I agree. There’s something about him that pulls me in. That makes me want to get closer to the flame, even as it burns me.

Obviously. Because if someone had told me I’d let my arch enemy spank my bare ass at a party before I lost my virginity, I’d have laughed in their face.

“Hopefully both of you got whatever’s been going on between you out of your systems and you can move on now.” Six says, and even though she doesn’t phrase it as a question, it comes out as one.

“Definitely.” I reply.

And I don’t know if I say those words for her benefit or to convince myself.

I’d purposefully avoided her after Rhys made the comment that he thought she was getting to me. I didn’t need to interact with her myself to ruin her life, there were dozens if not hundreds of desperate people at RCA dying to do what I asked.

Then as we settled into Math class, waiting for the professor to arrive, she’d bent over to pick up her dropped calculator, and shoving her ass in Devlin’s direction in the process. He’d done a double take before taking a good, long look at it.

Irritation had poured through my veins, the need to claw his eyes out a physical itch in my body. So I’d retaliated against her instead, mocking and tormenting her until she’d run out of the room.
