Chapter 17

Eventually the Queens were finally ready, and we set off. We walked down a cobblestone path that led to a part of the island I had never been before. The Queens walked in their towering high heels on the rough ground as naturally as if they were walking in flats. We walked through the woods for a little ways before the path veered off towards the ocean. We were on the opposite side of the island from the harbor so I wondered where the boat would dock.

I heard the sounds of other students before I saw them. The trees parted and revealed an alcove that was formed by the rocks of the island. In the middle was parked a massive yacht shining bright white in the moonlight. There was no way to get onto the boat except to jump from the rocks onto the deck. I saw that guys were making the small leap and then reaching back to help the girls they were with.

We stopped for a moment while Victoria called someone. All she said was, “We’re here,” then hung up. A couple seconds later Brett appeared on the deck as we walked up. He saw me and his face went hard. I already felt out of place and his reaction didn’t help.

Victoria smiled at him and reached out her delicate hand. He effortlessly picked her up by the waist in his massive arms as she held on to his shoulders and placed her gently on the deck. She walked inside without even a glance back.

Next it was Grace’s turn and Brett performed the same action. Then Jayla. Then Claudia. All without a word. Finally, it was my turn. I stepped forward into position. Brett met my eyes with a hard, unreadable look. For a moment I didn’t think he would help me. He stood like a bodyguard protecting the boat from party crashers like myself. I could go home, but I needed to be at this party. I needed to get into the Kings’ inner circle and get information on them. I was getting on the boat whether Brett liked it or not.

I looked around on either side of him for a place to jump. It wasn’t that far and the heels on my boots were low so I was pretty sure I could make it. I angled to the left of the giant gladiator in front of me and leapt.

Brett caught me mid-air. His large hands wrapped around my waist and gripped me firmly. My hands instinctively shot out and grabbed on to his broad shoulders. I was fit, but I wasn’t the lightest girl in the world but he held me like I weighed nothing. Our eyes locked and in his I could see the same storm raging that had been there that night in my room.

It felt like we were in slow motion as he slowly lowered me to the deck. My feet struck solid ground, bringing me back to reality. His large hands left my waist, and it felt cold without their warmth.
