Colt barely has time to take the car out of gear before I throw my door open and drop out of the SUV, headphones on. I didn’t bother to ask where he went the other night, or the three following. He’s out of the house every afternoon until late, not that my parents seem to care, or in the very least want to do a thing about it. Dad’s always in bed before nine since he has early starts, and Mum spends the evening watching a movie on TV until late, or head down on her phone conversing with her friends in the city.

All that matters to me is that Colt’s vehicle sits ready in the driveway each morning when I need it.

A bright red notice on the school gate draws my attention as I approach, sliding my headphones down to my neck.

All-Level Assembly.

I continue through the grounds, noting the same flyer pinned up at key places on campus. By the time I reach my locker, I’ve managed to read everything I need to know in bites as I passed by each one. We have an assembly in the main hall first thing, attendance compulsory.

Fingers-crossed this is some standard warm up before we head into the thick of the school term. I’m sure schools like Arcadia pep their students regularly to ensure grades remain high.

My gut says otherwise when I arrive at the large timber entrance doors, the din from inside deafening in the high-ceiling cathedral style hall. What has to be the entire faculty sit in a row on the raised stage, a grim-faced Principal Rothwell at the helm.

With my first-period textbook gripped tight to my chest, I move down the rows until I find a space midway along one to the left, between two groups of students I don’t recognise. They, however, clearly know who I am.

“City bitch.”

“Drama queen.”

I ignore the slander and sit in the middle of the gap, attention squarely on the stage ahead. The Mavericks file in, Johnson casually at the helm as they walk to the front of the hall where a row remains vacant. Amber skips along, spinning around as she walks every so often to talk with the raven-haired athletic girl behind her. She stares impassively at the little blonde pixie, Tuck close behind.

My chest constricts after seeing him saunter so casually up the aisle. He’s an impressive sight, his school shirt taut across the back of his shoulders, ass snug in a pair of well-fitted jeans. Flames lick beneath my skin. Yes. Very well fitted jeans.

Tuck nudges his shoulder into the guy next to him—Beau, I think his name is—and then glances over the heads of the students already seated. His eyes find mine, his smile wide before he then pulls a silly face.

Against better judgement, I duck my chin and let out a soft giggle. I haven’t seen him all week except for in class. I honestly didn’t know where we stood after the meeting in Principal Rothwell’s office.

“Something funny?”

My shoulders stiffen.
