Chapter 15

Kaye

Lesley stands in front of the mirror in her room and does her makeup. “The societies here are simple,” she says, doing a dark eye as I watch. I’m ready to go, but she’s taking her time, and insists that we’d look stupid if we were the first ones at the party. I don’t know anything about being cool or parties, so I assume she’s right. “They’re filled with stupid guys that want to drink and sleep with pretty girls. Don’t let their fancy names and their money trick you into thinking they’re anything more than rich fraternities.”

“When I first came here, I thought they’d be way more intimidating than they are.”

“Like I said, guys are simple here, even at this privileged shitshow of a school.”

“Not all guys though.” I glance toward the wall meaningfully.

She shrugs and gestures assent. “Fine, Emilio isn’t simple. But most of them? All they want is a cold beer and a nice pair of lips wrapped around their dick. If you make them think they have a chance, most of them will give you whatever you want.”

“That seems—” I wave a hand in the air, not sure how to say it without being insulting.

“Like you’re whoring yourself? Think of it more like seduction.” She laughs to herself and shakes her head. That’s one way of putting it at least. I grin back at her, feeling on edge but starting to loosen up. I have to admit, when Lesley gets dressed up and smiles, she’s very pretty. “You don’t actually sleep with them. You just… put out the vibe.”

I tug at my hair. “I have no vibes.”

“Don’t sell yourself short. You’re pretty.” She glances at me in the mirror. “Prettier than your sister.”

I blush and look down at my lap. We haven’t talked about Lucy yet, but I know Lesley knows who I am by now. I figured Emilio would tell her, but I didn’t know how to broach the subject without being an asshole. My curiosity is raging though, because if anyone knows what happened to my sister aside from Emilio, it would be her.

“You two were friends, right?”

“I was one of the few people in this hellhole that understood your sister.”

I chew my lip. “That’s good. I’m glad she had friends, you know, before she died.”

“She had a lot of friends. And a lot of enemies. Your sister was unique like that, I guess.” She sighs and stands. “Before you ask, no, I don’t know the full story about what happened with her and Emilio. He says he tried to save her and I believe him. But you’ll have to come to that conclusion on your own.” She rubs her face and glares at me. “Look, I’m not mad at you for not saying anything sooner about who you are. I get why you’re here. You wanted to see if Emilio killed her, right? But I can promise you, he didn’t. Everyone thinks he did, but it wasn’t him. He wouldn’t do that.”

“Are you sure?” I ask softly.
