“No! She’s not failing. She’s helping someone who is. She’s been tutoring people.”
“Oh, okay. That’s a smart and easy way to earn a little money from the university.”
“Mila, don’t give me that happy shit right now, okay?”
“Hey, back off a little, Ward. I’m in the middle of something here.”
“Oh, too busy for me? That figures.”
“You’re running through my door red-hot. I don’t even know why.”
“Ask your best friends. They’re the ones fucking all the hockey jocks, right?”
“What?”
“You heard me. Your fucking friends. Bad enough you’re in that circle. Now my sister is too. She’s tutoring Jax.”
“Jax? He’s failing?”
“Why does it matter who is or who isn’t failing?” Ward bellows. “Can’t you see how messed up this is? I show up to Willow’s dorm to check on her and she’s in the shower and there’s fucking Jax. Just standing there. Acting like a fucking cocky douchebag. Making all these sexual comments about my sister. Do you believe that?”
“Oh,” I say. “That’s… not good…”
“Wow, well said, Mila. Thanks for being there for me.”
“Ward, you just told me what’s going on. Plus, what do I say? If she wants to tutor him… if he needs help…”
Ward points at me. “No. Absolutely not. You know what he’s doing this for. For… her…”
“What do you mean? Like he has a crush on her?”
“A crush?” Ward asks. “What are we… in elementary school? Jax wants to fuck her! He wants to fuck my sister!”
I suck in a breath. “Ward…”
“Gross, isn’t it?”
“I think that’s attacking Willow more than hating Jax.”
He shakes his head. “Sometimes I can’t tell you things.”
“Want me to talk to Willow? Tell her to stay away from Jax?”
“She didn’t choose this. They threw him at her.”
“Can she quit?” I ask.
“That’s the smart move,” Ward says.
“Fine. I’m done talking to you then. I have to write a five-page paper by tomorrow.”
“Okay. You do that. Enjoy that. I’ll deal with my family issues on my own. Sorry to bother you, Mila.”
Ward struts to the door, waiting for me to jump at him and beg him to not go.
Seriously, I have a paper to write.
And I can’t get involved with his intense hatred for the hockey players.
