Hunter doesn’t need to do any more growing. He’s tall enough. And it doesn’t matter how much he eats, he never gets fat.
Harper squeals and I look up, seeing Reed kissing her neck.
Oh, gross.
Harper smacks Reed. “No kissing me in front of everybody.”
“I have to do something to let all the guys know you’re off limits,” Reed says. “You keep telling me no when I ask you to be my girlfriend.”
“She likes playing hard to get,” I tell him. I figure I owe Harper some teasing for all that she’s done to me.
“I hear you do too.” Reed turns to me, smirking.
“Me?” I put a hand to my chest.
He nods his head toward Hunter. “When are you going to give the poor guy a break? Everybody can clearly see that the two of you are head over heels for one another. A lot of guys on the football team want to ask you out, but none of them think they’ve got a shot.”
I swallow hard, my jaw dropping open at his confession.
He’s certainly lying, right? Just saying that to make me feel better.
“I told you, Coco.” Harper smirks. “Guys like you.”
I shake my head. “You’re insane.”
Hunter’s hand goes down on my back. “Are we going to have to start making out in the dining hall so all the boys know you’re off limits?”
He’s joking, but his words still give me butterflies.
My cheeks grow warm as I smack his arm away. “That’s why everybody thinks we’re together. You can’t joke about it.”
Plus, my heart can’t handle him joking about it. I like it way too much.
“You’re adorable when you blush,” Hunter teases.
I roll my eyes.
“Ahhh,” Harper says. “You guys are so cute.”
I groan, hoping the subject is changed soon. I’m not sure how much more of this cute talk I can handle.
Hunter and I aren’t a couple. We aren’t anything. And I wish people would stop thinking we’re together.
Hunter slips his arm back behind my back, but thankfully Reed distracts Harper again.
“You want to head out?” Hunter asks.
I nod, not wanting to see the two of them basically making out. “Please.”
We get up, heading toward our lockers to change our books. I’m glad to find there is no note waiting inside for me today. Hunter and I head to class early, and thankfully Hunter doesn’t tease me anymore.
A superhero party.
“Coco, wait up!”
I glance back and see Liam running toward me.
Since we arrived at West Raven Academy, my brother and I haven’t had a lot of time to hang out with one another. He’s always busy with his friends, girls, and football. Usually, he would make time for me, but I am also busy. I have Harper now. And, of course, there is the whole hit thing. I’m always with Hunter. I’m always training or I’m the one who is busy. I feel guilty that now I’m the one blowing him off.
