The blond mohawk leaned closer and put his hand in front of his mouth. “I’ll tell ya the whole story later, but Jackson understands how painful waxing his balls can be.”

The whole room erupted in loud laughter. Adrian liked this bunch of guys.

“Enough!” Dr. Arthur was not amused.

Mohawk guy went next. “The name’s Cade Franklin. I’m the kicker. I used to play goalie in high school but discovered girls like football players better than soccer players.”

“Yeah, too bad that doesn’t include you,” Riley snickered.

“One more outburst and I’m going to add hours.”

Adrian didn’t like Art as soon as he saw him, but their supervisor was shaping up to be a real asshole.

“My name’s Hunter Collins. I throw shit.” He gave them all a cheesy smile, his dark brown hair falling onto his forehead.

“Watch your language.” Dr. Arthur scribbled in his notebook.

The next guy rolled his bright blue eyes. “Xander Ames.”

Riley rolled her eyes again. “He’s the other wide receiver.”

Adrian thought he looked like a movie star on one of those superhero shows, but he couldn’t remember which one. He was sure the girls would know it in a second.

The other big guy of the group folded his arms across his massive chest. “I’m Alec Sanchez and no one gets past me.” He glared his deep brown eyes at Arthur.

Arthur snapped his fingers at Adrian in an impatient attempt to get him to introduce himself. “Let’s go; you’re last and you’re holding things up.”

Riley cleared her throat loudly. “You skipped me.”

Arthur scowled at her. “Hurry it up.”

Riley smiled sweetly at him but turned to Adrian. “You’ve already heard that I’m Riley Hess. I have no idea why I hang around these idiots.”

“Awww, babe. You love us,” Ian complained.

“She wouldn’t know what to do without us,” Alec chimed in.

“Enough! You. Start.”

Adrian smirked when Riley muttered caveman. “Adrian Colton. And yeah, I’m that guy.”

Arthur pointed his hand at Adrian. “We’re not going to put up with any nonsense from you.” He scanned the room. “You’re all here to do community service and I’m going to make sure you complete every single hour. If you are one minute late, you will make up the hour.”

Riley stood up. “That’s not fair. You can’t do that!”

Arthur leaned over her. “What are you going to do about it? I can do whatever I want.”

Hunter stood and placed his hand on Riley’s shoulder. “Let’s get our assignments, so we can get this sh... crap over with.”

“Fine.” Arthur pulled a stack of papers from a folder on the credenza next to the conference table. “Fill these forms out. You’ll be working at the animal hospital and shelter near campus. They have a partnership with the school of Veterinary Science, but they need volunteers to help operate the shelter. That’s what you’ll be doing.”

Adrian suppressed a smile. He loved animals. Maybe the community service wouldn’t be too bad.

Unavoidable Consequences

Kelsey jumpedup from class the second the professor closed his textbook. She had an hour before her next class, and she needed to fill it with as much caffeine as she could consume during that time.
