“There you are!”

I stopped short in the open door of the stall I’d tried to vacate. Amanda Clarke, Brynwood Academy’s gossip and head of the prom committee, with bright eyes and a triumphant smile blocked the exit.

Inwardly, I groaned.

One conversation with her my first day here had led to me spreading a rumor claiming Ever’s dick was shrimp-ish, which then led to my exile after Ever retaliated by setting his dumb jock friends on me.

Suffice it to say that I’ve learned my lesson about talking to Amanda Clarke.

“Did you seriously follow me in here?”

Since it was the middle of a period, the girls’ bathroom, as well as the halls, had been empty when I rushed in to relieve my bladder, so I knew our meeting was no coincidence. I’d bet anything that one of her spies told her where I’d be since we no longer shared classes. Thank fuck. It made dodging her this past week easier.

She glanced at her pink clipboard before regarding me disapprovingly. “You still haven’t RSVP’d, and as the obvious choice for prom queen, it’s imperative that you do.”

“Why is that obvious again?” I shoved by her and stepped to the sink.

“Because of your thing for Ever, silly.”

The warm water washing over my hands wasn’t enough to drown out her giggling or ease the sudden cold chilling my skin. To make matters worse, when I met her stare in the mirror, she winked.

“I know Barbie is Ever’s girlfriend,” Amanda continued, “and therefore, she should win, but Brynwood loves a good scandal, and it’s been a while.”

“And you’re telling me this to sell me on going?”

Amanda offered a conspiratorial smile. “Well, that plastic bitch thinks she’s better than everyone. It would be nice to take her down a peg or two. She’s the most popular girl in school, and she doesn’t even have any friends. It’s unnatural.”

“Who says she doesn’t have friends?” I shut the water off just as she scoffed.

“You mean the holy trinity?”

“The holy trinity?”

She rolled her eyes. “Ever, Jameson, and Vaughn. She used to run around causing trouble with them when we were kids. Some say she was their leader.” A wicked gleam suddenly entered her eyes. “Maybe she’s a lesbian, and she’s just dating Ever to cover it up!”

My stomach turned knowing that, by the end of the day, Barbie will have been forced inside the closet. At least until Ever worked his magic and put out the fire. I’d witnessed on more than one occasion—one of them being caused by me when I first arrived—how swiftly and brutally he snuffed rumors regarding him or someone he cared about.

Snatching some paper towel from the dispenser, I dried my hands. “Just because her friends happen to all be male doesn’t make her a lesbian, and even if she were, join us in the twenty-first century, won’t you?”

Rolling her eyes, she studied her nails. “I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with it, but it would make for some juicy gossip.” She stepped closer, and I forced myself to stand my ground even though my skin crawled being this close to ignorance.
