Chapter Fourteen

Elle

I decided to give them a pass. It took me a couple of classes, but I slowly came to the realization that Nate had done the right thing. I might not like it, but I would have hated Jimmy getting hurt even worse.

That didn’t excuse them keeping secrets from me. But, what was I going to do? He’d saved my brother. Again. I couldn’t exactly stay mad, could I? Especially when he flashed me those silvery blue eyes of his. My insides just seemed to melt and my anger washed away.

A new warm peace was settling over me. Things were going sort of good. They’d stopped hassling Jimmy. The rumors had seen to that. We’d made it through Sunday dinner without any fatal errors. Yes, life was good.

Or it was until I was confronted with a sight that set my nerves on edge. Nate, standing by his locker. And two of the evilest skanks in the world hanging on his every word. Cindy Havers and Julie Chase. My arch-enemies. The two girls who had made mine and Jeanna’s lives miserable for the last eleven years.

Cindy was looking up at Nate like he’d built the pyramids single-handed. Dressed in a tank top and shorts that barely met the school’s dress code. The girl looked like an advertisement for a cheap escort service. She had that dazed, adoring look that I knew guys found irresistible and her rather ample chest thrust forward, just begging him to notice

I swear, I saw red. My world changed, and all I wanted to do was charge in there and stop it before Nate fell to her many charms. A rage began to build up inside of me and not all of it was focused on Cindy. How dare Nate be interested in something like that? Besides, if he wasn’t so hot, she’d have left him alone.

No, some of this was definitely his fault. I didn’t know how, but it was.

I pushed my way through the crowd and turned on the biggest smile I could muster.

Cindy saw me coming and shot me a look of pure hate. That girl look that we reserve for the one person we despise more than any other in the world. I returned the favor.

“Hey Babe,” I said as I reached up, my hand slipping around the back of his neck to pull him down for a quick kiss on the lips.

Nate didn’t miss a beat as his lips brushed mine and for just the slightest moment I forgot about Cindy and the rest of the world.

“There you are, gorgeous,” he said as he slipped an arm around me and pulled me in close. My side next to him. We fit together like we were designed to.

I couldn’t resist shooting Cindy a quick look of victory.

“Do you know Cynthia, and … Julie is it?” he asked. “They were telling me how great the football team was.”

I had to bite my tongue for just a second. She’d announced to the world early last year that she preferred Cynthia to Cindy.
