I rush through the parking lot, checking behind me to make sure Garrett and his friends aren’t following me. They’re not, and part of that could be because this is their everyday. They attack without consequence. If asked, he’d probably say he did nothing wrong.

But I’m shaking so badly that my teeth are chattering.

“Mena?” a voice calls. I jump at the sound and look back.

I find Lennon Rose running after me, Corris Hawkes walking just behind her. Lennon Rose’s expression is tight with concern.

“Mena, wait up,” she calls. I wait, keeping my back to her while I close my eyes and adjust my disposition. I don’t want her friend to see me so upset. I don’t want to give away my fear.

When Lennon Rose appears next to me, I smile and say hello to her. My eyes drift past her to the guy she’s with. He nods a hello.

“Corris,” he says, introducing himself. His voice is noticeably deep, and he’s even more handsome up close. He holds up his hand in a polite wave.

“This is my friend Mena,” Lennon Rose says introducing me. “We used to go to school together.” Lennon Rose is clearly worried as she runs her gaze over me; her jaw clenches.

“What happened to your neck?” she asks, pointing toward it.

Garrett damaged me. He damaged me, and I’m hurt and angry. But most of all, I’m scared. Lennon Rose speaks up the instant I think this.

“Let us give you a ride home,” she says. She turns to smile at Corris.

“Yeah,” he says easily. “I wanted to leave anyway. I hate these people.”

He casts a disgusted glance at the field, before pulling a set of car keys from his pocket. He’s one of the few guys here I’ve seen reject the approval of the team and their fans.

Lennon Rose nods subtly to me, acknowledging his credibility. Corris touches her arm and then starts walking ahead of us toward his car.

Lennon Rose comes to my side as we follow him.

“Which one of them hurt you?” she asks.

“Doesn’t matter which one,” I say. “They’re all guilty.”

“But I need to know which one gets punished first.”

I turn to her, not sure what she means. Who would be doling out the punishment? Her? Winston?

“Garrett,” I say. “But I don’t want to talk about it.”

She sighs out a “fine” and motions ahead of us to Corris.

“He’s nice, right?” she says, changing the subject.

“Seems it,” I agree.

“I’ll keep him around a little while longer,” she says calmly. “He’s been very helpful.”

Corris clicks the locks open on his SUV.

“He doesn’t know that we’re—” I start.

Lennon Rose laughs. “Of course not. Look. Corris hates those boys too. It makes him a useful ally in the short term. In the long term …” She pauses, thinking it over. “I doubt he’d choose our side. So he’s temporary.”

Corris walks around to hold open the passenger door for Lennon Rose, checking his phone as he waits for us.

“I have found some pleasure in his company,” Lennon Rose says, flashing me a private smile.
