CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

I hold Kennedy’s hair back as she vomits into the shrubs lining the sidewalk and shoot Lincoln a glare when he starts laughing at the sight. “I thought we said no drinks.”

He holds his hands up in surrender. “I don’t know if you noticed, but she was the one grabbing the drinks, not me. I told her to slow down. You weren’t exactly stopping her either.”

I’d gotten her water throughout the night hoping we could avoid this part, but she was too nervous about the party to eat beforehand. “I guess she can check off her first party at least. And her first hangover tomorrow morning.”

Lincoln nods. “We’ve all been there.”

“Vomiting in bushes?”

“On someone’s shoes, actually,” he tells me, cringing. “And it happened to be the president of the frat I was rushing. Needless to say, I didn’t get in.”

Snorting at the sight I’m picturing in my head, I rub Kennedy’s back and watch as she straightens up and wipes off her mouth with the back of her hand.

My roommate says, “I’m never drinking again. Never.”

Lincoln and I share a knowing look, but we nod as if she’ll hold to that.

“Whatever you say, girl,” I reply, keeping a firm grip on her. “You survived your first college party. How do you feel other than incredibly drunk?”

She stumbles in the heels I let her borrow, nearly taking both of us down. “Incredibly drunk,” she reiterates. “Although I think puking helped a little.”

I wind our arms together. “It’s probably a good thing you did. Some people get alcohol poisoning, so you saved yourself the hassle of getting your stomach pumped.”

Kennedy shoots me a mortified expression and whisper-hisses, “That really happens to people?”

It’s Lincoln who answers her. “All the time. Especially for first years who’ve never drank before.”

The girl clinging to me looks mystified by that, silently taking it in as we walk back to our building on campus.

“Do you think you could handle some food or not? Because I’m starving.” I spent so much time making sure she was okay that I didn’t have much time to do anything but drink water and nibble on pretzels that Lincoln found in the kitchen when he raided it for snacks.

Kennedy makes a pathetic noise, which tells me she might not be down for food at all.

“I can grab you some,” Lincoln offers. “One of the deli’s stays open until two in the morning on weekends if you’re down for a sub.”

My mouth practically waters. “Is it as good as the panini you had me try the other day? I’ve been thinking about it all week.”

He finds a way to lay on the charm. “I’m glad I could be in your thoughts somehow. I don’t know if I’d consider the sub as good as the panini, but it’s got to be a close second.”

Kennedy groans. “Are you guys going to flirt all night? Because that will definitely make me vomit again.”

I pat her back, trying not to snicker at the drunken sass. “Sorry, Kenny. No flirting.
