“And why would I do that?” I mutter, pulling up in my usual spot beside my brothers.

“Because if you don’t..” she swings the passenger side door open, eager as shit. “I’ll tell everyone you let Levi Matthews suck your dick and liked it.”

I lock my jaw and climb out after her, slamming my door so hard that the freshman kid checking out my car jumps a mile and runs off.

“Don’t talk about that.”

“Then get me back on the team,” she grins, damn near skipping over to me to take my hand in hers.

I almost forgot how peppy she is.

I used to think it was cute, her light to this dark gray cloud of misery hanging over my head, but now it’s just fucking annoying.

She pulls me along to fall in line beside my family and Callie glares, purposely bumping her shoulder with hers.

“Excuse you,” Freya bites out, stopping where she stands when Callie laughs and spins to face her.

“Listen to me very fucking carefully, little girl,” she says quietly, towering over her with the five inches of height she has on her. “I might not be able to do shit about you being here, but don’t think for a damn second I’m about to make this easy for you. Threaten him with that again and I’ll shove my foot so far up your ass you’ll choke on it. Got it?”

Freya’s eyes narrow and she lifts her chin, looking up at her with a confidence that looks real, but I don’t miss the way she squeezes my hand a little tighter. “Fine.”

Callie and the boys look to me and I nod, letting them know I’m good. It’s a lie and they know it, but they have no choice but to accept it and move on.

Damon takes Callie’s hand and I reluctantly keep Freya’s in mine, making sure to leave her on the outside of our four way triangle while we walk inside. Callie remains in the center and ignores the eyes following her every move, same as usual, but Freya eats up all the attention she’s getting, barely even bothering to hide her excitement when the stares and whispers start to flow through the hall.

She’s enjoying this.

People move to clear a path for us while we walk Callie to her locker and I lean back against the wall, raising a brow at the group of junior girls staring at me from across the hall with their jaws on the floor.

“Beat it.”

They scurry off to do as they’re told and I pull my phone out from my pocket. The group chat blows up with messages and I scroll up a little bit, shaking my head when I spot the picture taken of me and Freya in the parking lot just now.

“Two minutes and twenty seven seconds,” Kai says, grinning when I toss him his fifty bucks. “Why’d you keep bettin’ me when you know you’re gonna lose?”

“Anything to keep you happy, little brother,” I say dryly, laughing lightly when he shoves my ass.

“Bitch, you’re only seven minutes older than me.”

“I’m seven inches longer, too.”

“Bullshit,” he laughs, shamelessly grabbing his cock through his jeans. “Callie, tell him my dick’s bigger than his, baby girl.”

“You’re identical twins, Kai,” she informs him, knocking her locker shut before turning to face us fully. “Your dicks are exactly th– shit,” she hisses, snatching Freya’s arm to pull her away from me.

Freya squeals and I frown, but before I can even think about turning around to see what spooked her, someone grabs me from behind and I’m shoved through the bathroom door to my right, barely having time to realize it’s Levi before he shuts the door and tosses me back against it.

Fuck.

He flicks the lock by my hip and I look around him to check no one else is in here, relieved when I find the room empty, but that doesn’t change the fact he just grabbed me in front of an entire hall full of people watching my every move.

“Have you lost your fuckin’ mind?”

“Have you?” he throws back, wrapping his hand around my throat to get in my face.

I glare and shove his ass back, locking my jaw when he refuses to move. He advances on me again and my lungs stop working, my heart pumping wildly against my chest when his body hits mine and pins me between him and the door.

“Get off me.”
