“C.O.B.” Leah snorts.

He scrubs a hand over his face and whispers.

“C.O.B?”

From behind me comes an annoyed laugh, and then Riley says, “Continuous Open Recruitment.”

I turn and look at her, eyes narrowed.

“You’ll make a perfect frat boy.”

What the fuck?

“Sororities C.O.B. We dirty rush.” Tyler chuckles.

Again, what the fuck?

Chapter 4

Riley

Alone

Sunday Evening, August 18th

Alone for thefirst time in hours, I stare at a blank screen that may as well have Theo Rivera plastered on it.

He looks the same, but with the new haircut and added weight, he looks … rougher. Yet, still no tummy flips, we’re not counting the ones in myprincess parts.Ones that neither Mr. History nor the Ex-periment caused when one was knuckle deep.

Why, why, why didn’t you just jump him? Oh, that’s right, because he pretended to be a gentleman. Fuck you very much, Rivera. His jersey number, unlucky 13 should have been enough of a sign, but no, I was an idiot … again.

“I’m fucking exhausted.” Leah flops down on the couch beside me, freshly showered and paint-free.

Laughing to myself, I nod. “Haven’t heard of an artist getting so emersed in their work since …” I pause to come up with something, but the words evade me.

“Picasso,” Cody offers as he walks into the theatre room with two huge buckets of popcorn and hands us one.

“Thank you. You’re now my favorite roommate,” I say, taking the bucket and handing him the remote. “You pick.”

Leah reaches in, pulls out a handful, picks a piece up, and pops it in her mouth. “She’s trying to butter you up.”

“And why’s that?” Cody sits down on the couch across from us and hits the power button.

“She’s ahugefootball fan,” Leah mocks me.

“Thought I was in a hockey house,” he states.

“She’s switched rosters.”

“Seriously, not even two days, and I want to duct tape your mouth shut,” I huff.

She completely ignores me. “So, you have to hook her up.”

“Not sure how good a wingman I’ll be since I’m just starting my first season here.” He yawns. “I don’t even know who’s a good guy or a—”

“Not looking to be wifed up. Just looking for some fun.”

He cocks his head to the side and does a slow blink.
