CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

EVERLY WAS NOT happy. It wasn’t a guessing game as to why she was angry, either. I was a good roommate. I overlooked the pitch-black windows when the sunshine should be lighting the room so I could see to get dressed, and the fact I had no space in the bathroom for my things, and the way she left her shoes and clothing draped all over the place—even my bed at times. Heck, I even accepted the furry pink pillow and ridiculous paintings she hung around the room.

So she had no reason to be mad at me. But she was. And it was all because of Slate. He had begun picking me up in the morning and walking me to my first class. I didn’t think much about it, other than it was really nice and saved me from going without coffee, because he always brought me some. However, the rest of the dorm was buzzing about it, because Slate Allen didn’t do this.

But he was doing it with me.

Telling people we were just friends didn’t seem right, either, because we were dating now. Not exclusively, but we were dating. I tried not to think about the exclusive thing too much. I didn’t want to know who else he was seeing. For now, he seemed to be seeing only me.

WHEN I CAME out of the bathroom the next Friday morning, Everly stood at the door with her hand on it like she wasn’t going to let me leave the room. She was normally in bed at this time yelling at me to be quiet.

“Why you? What, do you have a magic vagina or something? Do you give world-class blow jobs? I mean, what is the deal here? I am a hundred times more attractive than you. I am fuck-worthy. Look at me!” She waved her hand down her body as if I should be taken in by the sight. “So why is he seeing you over and over again? Slate Allen doesn’t do that. He is a one-time fuck. Everyone knows that.”

I knew the guy of whom we spoke was waiting on me downstairs. He had just sent me a text.

“Move, Everly. I have a class to get to.”

Her face grew bright red and she slapped the door. “Answer me, damn it!”

I’d seen her pitch fits before, but this one was on its way to being her worst yet. “Possibly because I don’t act like this.”

She looked confused. “Like what?”

“A psycho bitch. Now move.”

“Did you just call me a bitch?” she roared loudly. I was beginning to wonder who all could hear this and if a crowd had gathered outside our room to listen.

“Don’t forget the psycho. That’s really important.”

Her eyes flashed pure hate, and I wondered if I had gone too far. I had never in my life been in a fight and I didn’t want to have my first one now.

“You’ll regret that. I always get what I want. Always.”

That was a threat that didn’t even make sense.
