CHAPTER 14
Ellis
I strutted up the front steps to the house party on Camille Street. My costume had drawn looksâand whistles of appreciationâall the way here.
Iâd had to find something last minute, and the only thing that fit me was this skimpy firefighter costume: red booty shorts, yellow suspenders, a fire hat, and a coiled hose I wore over one shoulder.
It was kind of ridiculous, but I looked damn sexy in it, as confirmed by Becca, Austin, and Zach. Jordan hadnât replied, which bothered me more than I wanted to admit.
Did he not think I was rocking it?
A guy in jeans and a dark T-shirt leaned against the exterior of the house, a vape pen in his mouth.
âWhat are you dressed up as?â I asked. âWait, donât tell me.â I pointed at him. âCollege slacker.â
He blew out a smoke ring, his lips quirking. âYou got me.â
The door was open, music spilling out onto the porch, along with laughter. Excitement zipped through me. It had been too long since Iâd been to a college party. My frat hosted them regularly, and they were always super fun.
I stepped inside, passing a small cluster of people on their way out the door. The couch stood against the wall, pushed aside to make space in the center of the room for dancing. A guy and girl were enthusiastically making out on it.
I blamed the distraction of tongues and wandering hands for why I didnât notice until I was in the middle of the room that one: everyone was staring at me; two: several of them were snickering; and three: they were all dressed casually.
Casually! As in, not in costume.
âDid someone hire a stripper?â Heath Ballard called out, even though he sat behind me in Torts class, the jerk.
âWhoa!â Elana Graber, from my legal writing class, blinked at me. âI did I miss a memo? Is this a costume party?â
âApparently, Iâm the one who got the wrong memo,â I said. âAnd Iâm going to kill Vic.â
I stomped through the living room, scanning the faces, most of which were laughing or wincing as I went by. A few stared at my ass and chest with dropped jaws, but I really couldnât hold it against them since Iâd chosen the costume.
It had seemed like a better idea when Iâd thought everyone would be dressed slutty.
I marched through the living room, the dining room, the kitchen, my own parade of shame, until finally I spotted Vic in a rec room. He was leaning against the wall, looking bored, while Clayton played pool with a couple of guys who looked only vaguely familiar. They were probably in second year, like him, which is why we didnât have more classes together.
Victorâs gaze fell on me and he choked on his sip from the red plastic cup in his hand.
âHoly shit,â he gasped, sputtering and laughing.
âHa-ha. You got me. Very funny.â
âI knew youâd show up in a costume, but I didnât thinkââ He lost it, laughing again while waving his hand up and down my body.
