She looked meup and down before making the introductions. “Well,I’m Amber and that’s Camilleand Beverly.”
While Amber wasthe epitome of a lovely blonde with blue eyes and a slimfigure, Camille was thepicture perfect of an exotic Asian with distinct features that madeher absolutely stunning. And Beverly was your typical fieryredhead, all tall and statuesque.
And have themstand next to Viola in all her gorgeous African-Americanbeauty…well, it wasn’t hard tosee which kid didn’t belong in this playground.
I wanted toslink away to the safety of my small apartment and bury my face and mind in a book. I wanted tobe far, far away from this place and these girls.
Well, exceptfor Vivi.
But beforeViola could say anything aboutAmber’s direct mention of my scholarship, or before I could make myexcuses to escape, Beverly started word vomiting. “Oh, my god! Didyou guys hear that all four Buchanan brothers are supposed to behere tonight?”
Camille’seyeswidened and joined in thefandoming of the Buchanans. “I know and can you imagine? I’ve heardthe twins are just as hot as Aiden and Mason,” shegushed.
Amber huffed as she addedher two cents. “Oh, please. Everyone knows Mason Buchanan is theone at the top of the food chain,” she countered. “I mean, Aiden isdrop dead gorgeous and all, and I’m sure the younger brothers arestriking as well, but they can’t compare to Mason.” She looked downher nose at all of us. “No one on this entire campus can compare toMason Buchanan.”
Camille placeda hand on her dainty hip. “Well, no girl hasgotten Mason in their bed since he started here, sowhy not go for one of the twins?”
“Or both,” Beverlysalaciously added.
“Are you girlsserious?”Viola asked,sounding just as surprised as I actually was.
Camille’ssneerhad completelytransformed her face. “What?”
Viola’s eyeslooked like they were going tobug out of her head. “Those boys are only 18 years old, Camille,”she pointed out.
“And thelawsays that’s plenty oldenough to fuck, Viola,” she snapped back, shocking the shit out ofme. I mean, yeah, they were legal, but they were barely out of highschool for Christ’s sake!
“Well, it isn’tgoing to matter if they’re anything like their olderbrothers. I imagine Mason andAiden will take them to wherever it is they’re getting theirpussy,” Beverly said upset by the possibility.
Icouldn’t take it anymore.“Maybe they have girlfriends who go to other schools,” I suggested.“Maybe that’s why-”
Amberrolledher eyes at me. “Evenif that were the case, do you think I care if Mason Buchanan has agirlfriend or not?”
I couldn’t dothis. I couldn’t spend onemore second in the company of these horrible people. I turned toViola and asked, “Do you think there’s tequila here?”
Her brows shot up andher eyes rounded. “I’m sure there is,” she answered.
“I needtequila,Vi. Please take me tothe tequila.” She hooked her arm in mine and off wewent.
Chapter 6
Mason~
The cab droppedus off on the cornerat theend of the block where the party was being thrown. We never drankand drove no matter what the occasion.
Ever.
We also didn’taccept rides with other peoplewho were drinking or accept rides from females.
I knewthe choices we made seemed extreme,but we were raised with a deep belief in choices and thecircumstances regarding those choices.
My father wasn’t abig believer is blaming the other guy.
I didn’t lookat the twins when I said,“Okay, you guys know the rules right?”
The assholes chorusedtheir answer together. “No drinks, unless we snap the cap offourselves. No drugs of any kind. No touching, kissing or fucking onour first night out.”
“And no fighting, unlessyou’re defending yourselves,” Aiden added.
