“I’m curious about something, Josslyn,” Kallista calls out the next morning just after the warning bell rings and Phoenix slithers off to his first block class, gym in the rec center with Sydney and Margaret.

I pause in the middle of the hallway, close my eyes, and let out a noisy exhale. She doesn’t quit, does she? Whirling around, I narrow my brown eyes into tight slits as her and her group prowl toward me, brutal smirks teasing their lips.

Thankfully, there are no coffee cups in sight.

“Yes?”

She lays a hand on her hip and cocks her head. “Just answer this, whose dick is bigger: Phoenix’s? Or his dad’s?”

Heat eats away at my face and neck. “How would I know?”

“Well, you’re obviously fucking one of them. Probably both, so spill? Who’s bigger?” She holds her hands eight or nine inches apart. “Or is one longer and the other thicker? I seriously lose sleep thinking about this.”

“Maybe they alternate nights,” Daphne suggests.

Kallista chuckles. “Or share the nasty bitch.”

“Or maybe, you can just ask your sister, since she’s already fucked at least one of them. Possibly both,” I spit out, and Kallista hollows her cheeks. Her stance changes, like she’s ready to lay me out if I so much as breathe another word. “I’m not sleeping with either Phoenix or his father, so can you stop already?”

“You might as well give up the innocent act, Josslyn. Everyone heard about you sneaking off with Aric the night of Gideon’s party. The Townsends weren’t enough for you, you had to fuck him, too? Do you also get it in with Reina? I heard she’s not above a little muff diving, even if it is with a goddamn butter-body.”

Butter-body. That’s a brand new one. The sad part is that it doesn’t even bother me anymore. I just want to get this over with so I can get to class.

Still, of all the times for Phoenix to not be my shadow, it has to be now. I almost miss the bastard because his presence alone is enough to keep Kallista’s lips snapped shut. She’s that afraid of offending him. Telling myself that it doesn’t matter—that I don’t need him to fight my battles—I open my mouth to shoot her a retort, but a sharp voice lashes through the air before I can get a word out.

“You know, Kallista, just because no one’s interested in lubing up and climbing your lifeless corpse doesn’t mean you get to take it out on every other girl Phoenix looks at.”

Shocked, I glance over my shoulder and almost pass out when I spot Alaric, of all the damn people, lurking toward us, his hands stuffed deep in the pockets of his uniform khakis. He’s wearing his usual expression, the one that’s borderline uninterested, but his hazel eyes flash with fury. I look back to Kallista and all the color has drained from her face.

“Aric? I thought—” she begins, but Alaric comes to a stop next to me and draws a hand from his pocket, smooshing his finger against Kallista’s lips and smudging her pink gloss.
