“So I told Mallory that she needed to march right up to Damien, flip him off, and tell him that she deserved that solo more than that bitch, Sarah.”

I felt Asher’s gaze on me. “Yeah, I’ve met that Sarah chick. She did seem like a peach.”

“Yeah, a rotting peach!” Claudia smacked her tongue in disgust. “Mallory works her ass off day in and day out and for what? To lose to someone who probably flashed her vag to Professor Dumbass? Girl must have some glittering labia or something.”

Asher broke out laughing while I stewed silently beside him. He elbowed me in the ribs and grinned. “That’s what I can’t figure out about you.”

“If I have glittering labia?” I muttered.

He snorted. “How you can be all blunt and abrasive to me?”

“Hey!”

“But when it comes to someone you really need to step up to, you shy away from it. Why is that?”

“I don’t know,” I said with a grunt.

“Mallory, why don’t you stand up to Damien?” Claudia asked with concern. “Did he ever do something to make you scared of him?”

“Not scared of him, but more so wary.”

Asher’s jaw clenched. “What did he do?”

“Nothing,” I answered quickly and shrugged. “He just made it perfectly clear that he can’t stand being argued with. He views any debates against his cause as a mutiny and I don’t want to ruin my shot at piano, okay? I need good recommendations if I want to go anywhere in this career and I really don’t want to burn bridges.”

“But it’s okay to burn bridges with me, right?” Asher murmured as he stared at his greasy mess of a pizza, which was practically oozing with oil.

“Um, come again?”

“Nothing. I didn’t say anything,” he replied with a strained smile.

I blinked in confusion and shook my head. “I don’t think my mouth is going to get me anywhere with Damien.”

“It did for Sarah.” Claudia laughed, wagging her eyebrows suggestively.

I rolled my eyes. “All hearsay and speculation…that I may have started. Either way, I think my music should speak for itself and that’s why I’m trying hard to finish this piece. I’m hoping to present it to Damien to see if he’ll add a spot into the production for me.”

“I guess that’s better than nothing,” Claudia said with a sigh, obviously irked that I don’t just go and bitch slap the hell out of my professor.

“And what if he doesn’t go for it?” Asher asked, nearly giving me whiplash.

“Why wouldn’t he?” I ground out. “I’ve been working my butt off, or at least trying to when I’m not running my anti-jinx business with you.”

“That’s exactly what I mean.”

“You’re speaking in circles,” I said with a grunt.

He exhaled loudly. “Look at me. I’m trying so hard and work my butt off, but something is holding me back from succeeding. Initially I thought it was a jinx.”

“We know,” Claudia and I said in unison, bursting into giggles when we caught each other’s eyes.

At least Asher was humorous enough to take a joke. Smiling, he explained, “But perhaps it’s not supernatural.
