Chapter Sixteen

“What?” Her voice sounded like a puff of air.

Scotty frowned. “Have you been thinking that all this time?”

“I—I thought that’s the reason you were being nice to me-”

Scotty’s mouth parted but he didn’t speak. Suddenly, Jalissa’s loud voice could be heard and everyone’s attention turned to her.

“I said stop it!” She was pushing Donald Miller away from her and the boy was laughing maniacally while he smacked her butt.

Vanessa leaped to her feet in outrage that he would dare touch her cousin in such a disrespectful way. She darted forward and stepped in front of Jalissa, shielding her with her taller body.

“Don’t you dare touch her like that!”

Donald smirked at her, his eyes lighting with something that caused Vanessa’s blood to run cold.

“That’s fine, Vanessa.” Donald said. “I’d rather touch yours anyway.”

Suddenly Scotty was standing in front of her and Jalissa. “Leave them alone.”

The smile fell from Donald’s face as he met Scotty’s eyes. “Fuck you. Tend to your own business.”

“Donald, back off.” Scotty said in a low, dangerous voice.

Anthony was suddenly in front of Donald, talking to him in a low voice. “Let’s get out of here man.”

But Donald was angry that this white kid would disrespect him in front of his peers, in front of the girls. He especially didn’t like the way Vanessa peeked from around his body as if she wanted him to protect her. He knew that Vanessa didn’t like him because she never even spoke to him. She would look away whenever he came around. And that was fine if she wanted to be a stuck-up bitch. But if she didn’t want to like him then he would give her a reason.

Donald shrugged off the light touch that Anthony had on his arm. “Nah, fuck this cracker!” G stood up lazily. He was bigger and older than all of them.

“Listen young blood. Don’t start no shit, won’t be no shit.”

Donald paused and looked at the two older boys. He glanced behind him to see how many of his buddies were around, but it was just him and Anthony and as big as the boy was, he was no fighter. Donald knew that Scotty Tremont knew how to scrap, but he also knew that there was something crazy running through their family—and that crazy was named Tino.

Donald didn’t say another word. He just picked up his shirt from the grass and headed down the hill with Anthony. Anthony didn’t dare look back to say goodbye to Vanessa or Scotty.

“See, gal!” G was fussing at Jalissa. “I told you about that ass of yours!”

Scotty turned and looked at Vanessa. “That was pretty brave of you to stand up for your cousin like that, especially against someone like Donald Miller. He’s a pretty bad cat.”

Vanessa’s face was impassive. “He’d have to beat both of us up.”

Scotty smiled. Yeah.
