He laughs, “No, neither. I’m captain of the Lacrosse team.”

“Ah, that was my next sport,” I grin, “Which position do you play?”

“I’m a Midfielder but can play any position if needed. Do you go to many games?”

“Me? God no, I don’t participate in any sports, including watching them.” Taking another drink from my cup, I look out the window just behind the guy I’m talking to, and I see him. Oakley Harris, the President of the University’s son, and also a Sinner; he’s one of the Lords of Sin.

“I think I just saw one of my friends out back,” I say to the guy I’ve been talking to, “It was nice to meet you...”

“Kaden Miller, it was nice talking to you too, Catalina Scott.” He grins, and now I feel a bit sheepish for not knowing his name.

“Well, that isn’t creepy or anything. You know my name, but I’ve never met you.” I smile as I start walking toward the door backward.

“Everybody knows the Provost’s daughter. See you around, Cat.” He walks away first, so I turn, open the back door, and head outside, where it’s just as loud and obnoxious.

I glance around, looking for a particular Sinner, who I have no business trying to talk to, but hey, YOLO, right? You only live once, so rules need to be broken occasionally. When I go to turn back, I run into another body, spilling some of my drink.

“Oh shit! I’m sorry, my bad.” I look up, and all I want to do is crawl under a rock, “Oakley, I am so sorry!”

He looks down at the wet spot on the front of his shirt and then cocks a brow at me, “Do you know how much this shirt cost?”

Looking at it, the shirt just looks like a plain white t-shirt, but knowing him, he probably paid nothing less than a hundred for it, “I am sorry, I can pay for the dry cleaning if you need me to.” I look at him, trying not to show how nervous I am.

He looks me up and down, “Nah, I’m good.” He then turns and walks away from me.

Fuck! I screwed that one up! Now he thinks I’m nothing but a klutz. Maybe it’s a sign that I shouldn’t be talking to him. I roll my eyes and picture Felisha cursing me for accidentally spilling my beer on him when I shouldn’t have been near him.

“Shit,” remembering my now empty cup, I head back inside to stand in line again.

“Let’s get out of here, Cat.” I look up at my roommate from the cozy bean bag chair I’m sitting in.

“I thought you had two prospects for tonight?” I struggle to stand from that low until Dani gives me her hand.

“Yeah, me too. That is until some redheaded floozy stole the first one, and it turns out I don’t have the right equipment for the second one I had my sights on.” She pouts.

I throw my head back and laugh, “Too bad you didn’t meet Kaden. Now he’s probably someone I may consider adding to my list at some point.” I continue to grin.

“Ugh! Why do you always find the good ones?” She links her arm with mine as we walk out of the front door.

“It’s the other way around, sweet cheeks. The good ones find me, but I’m too gaga over the bad ones to see the good ones.” I chuckle.

I keep my eyes open to see if I get another glimpse of a certain Sinner who was at the Jock House earlier. As we turn onto the sidewalk, I look back at the big Victorian-looking house and see someone watching us from the top floor. They salute me, and I realize that it’s Kaden, and I salute him back.

As nice as he was earlier, he’s a bit creepy, but it’s not like I ever see him, so I push him out of my mind and hug Dani tighter, “So, which house party are you wanting to go to next?”

“Well, let’s see, the Emos are having a party, and then there is a house party two blocks away, so you pick.”

“The Emos?” I cock a brow.

“Yeah, you know, the students that dress all goth-like...”

“Seriously, Dani?” I shake my head.

“What? That’s what others call them!” She snickers.

“Yeah, well, they sound more like my people, so we are going to that one.” It also happens to be next door to the Sinners Frat House.

“We better keep watch, make sure Felisha doesn’t have her spies on us. The last thing we need is her grilling us when we return.” My little friend chuckles.
