“Are you fucking for real?You just announced to the fucking world that the Torres family is involved with the Carusos!”

“Hey, there are two Torreses families here. Mine is not yours.”

“The world doesn’t see it like that, asshole,” I say, punching his shoulder. “If her parents find out, they’re going to kill me.”

“Hold your horses there. I didn’t tell anyone you were involved.”

“It. Doesn’t. Fucking. Matter,” I say through gritted teeth. “You put a target on her when we were trying to stay under the radar.”

“The attention will die down, don’t worry,” he says, like it’s all so simple.

I guess it is to a simpleton like him.

“When? After they’ve come for me and ripped me apart, limb from limb?” I quip.

“They won’t. Like I said, I put the attention on her, me, and Grey. You’re still off the hook. Relax, bro.”

“That’s easy for you to say when no one’s trying to kill you.”

“Oh really?” He raises a brow, looking at me.

I fold my arms. “I fucking might after you pulled this stunt.”

“Proving my point.” He snorts. “You worry too much.”

“You worry too little,” I reply.

He taps my forehead. “Or maybe I’m the only sane one out of the four of us.”

I grab his finger and nearly break it. “If you’re the cause of my death … better pray for fucking mercy because I will fucking come to haunt your ass until you die of annoyance.”

He laughs. “Good. Keeps me on edge.”

“Did anyone see me?”I ask Grey.

“No. They’re far too busy with something else,” Grey mutters as he looks around at all the people who are talking behind our backs.

“What are they gossiping about?” I hiss.

“Apollo, announcing to the entire school he’s fucking us both.”

The blood leaves my face so quickly I swear I might faint. “He did what?”

“Sorry, I couldn’t stop him. He moved that quickly.” Grey swallows. “He even kissed me in front of everyone.”

I pause. “Oh my God. People know about our foursome?”

No.

Oh God no.

If people know, that means Felix will find out, and then my mom and dad will find out too … and kill him.

“No, no, no,” I mutter to myself.

Grey grabs my arms and sets me down on a bench. “Don’t panic. He only mentioned the three of us. No one else.”
