“Wait,” a small voice said. We turned back and Rosie slid a paper into my hand. “Text me anytime.” Then she stepped closer and whispered in my ear, “I have never been with a girl before but there is something about you. Definitely text me.” She leaned forward and pressed a kiss against my lips before walking back behind the counter. I hightailed my ass out of the store.

Zane busted out laughing, barely catching his breath. I scowled at him.

“Shut the fuck up, Zane.” Then I turned to the boys. “Did you shrink the books to fit in my bag?”

They nodded. “What happened?” Gray asked.

“Hudson… Hudson...” Zane couldn't stop laughing, that dick. “Hudson flirted with the girl inside and told her we share, and the girl came back and kissed Hudson. You should have seen her face.”

“Fuck you, guys. Let’s go have lunch.” I swung my legs over my bike and sped off while they guys laughed and followed. Fuckers. I had only been with Remi. I was fucking with Zane, but I definitely did not have any inclinations towards the same sex except for Remi it seemed. Well, at least for now, who the fuck knows anymore. I, apparently, like four guys, a girl, and want to have a baby with a motorcycle. I mean, what else is going to be thrown my way?

I spentthe rest of Sunday getting ready for school. We ended up having pizza before we headed back home. The computer and iPad had been delivered, and I set them to the side to update and download all the software while I put my books away on a bookshelf I stole from Zane’s room when he was downstairs. I also stole his speakers and blasted music from my phone singing and dancing along to my randomized Mary J Blige playlist; the good stuff. I snapped a picture and gave him my thanks and he responded with several middle fingers. I sniggered, honestly, he should be fucking honored that his shelves were being graced with authors like B.C Morgan, E.M Moore and Nikita, my favorite new dark romance author. This bitch gave me so many ideas. If Zane fucked up again, I’m just gonna stab him and tell him that Nikita told me to do it. Fuck it.

I took out my uniform, gag, for tomorrow and my combat boots. I'll be damned if I was wearing heeled penny loafers at any point in time. There were people, like me, who wore heels to look cute for a party, then there were fucking idiots, that would be the not me person, being caught in a fight with penny loafers. I looked at my skirts and frowned, God I hoped I didn't cut them too much. I groaned; I didn’t want to start school looking like Britney Spears. I was more of a Genie in a Bottle chick. Don’t judge me, Justin was just not a good decision. Although, hitting people one more time was a good idea. Yes, I knew it was the other way around, but you won’t catch me singing that version.

Fuck, I was brain rambling, ugh. I sighed; well, I guess I'll see how short the skirts are tomorrow after they ride up my ass all day. I threw myself on my desk chair, looking over my schedule, and I gave another grimace. Partially this was the reason I didn’t really want to leave my brain right now, I’m literally in school for over 12 hours. The least I can do is hide out in my room for a bit to breathe before I had to deal with this shit tomorrow.

I pretty much was lost inmy thoughts, making little corrections doodling, as I looked over my schedule and sighed. To be honest, my non study hall nights could’ve been spent in swimming or running, but I ran every day and I already know how to swim. So, what was the point? At least magical tactical is a combination of all the shit I’m good at; self-defense, weaponry and magical practice. I also thought alchemy was going to be boring as fuck; do I look like I aspire to be Professor Snape?

I heard a knock on my door and said, “come in”, lost in my thoughts.

“Hey, I found some extra books on familiars for you. I know Ryder was getting some together, so I grabbed a couple that may also help you as well,” Grayson said, walking into my room. I smiled at him.

“Thank you. It’s insane how much I don’t know about something so close to me. So, I appreciate these.” I started to thumb through them, excited to sit down and really pick up as much as I can.

“I don’t think I have ever seen anyone as excited as you are about books. Today was especially impressive,” he teased as he leaned against the wall next to my desk.

“Well, it’s safe to say you have never met anyone quite like me before.” I stuck my tongue out at him. He laughed.

“Yes, well, that part is true. There is no one like you at all. It makes you even more special to me; to us.” He leaned over and caressed my face, making my heartbeat like crazy. Xena gave a lion meow and walked up to him, rubbing her head against his leg. He laughed and rubbed her face.
