IT’S EIGHT O’CLOCK ON FRIDAY MORNING, and I have yet to sleep. The downtown casino has had back to back tournaments, and I’m raking up enough to pay off the rest of spring semester and hopefully to pay my entry fee for a larger tournament this summer. I’m on the leaderboard right now, but an opponent delivered a nice little blow to my mental stability this morning in the form of a printed out blog article.

Skyler Thorne: Poker’s Hottest New Player

At first, it sounded flattering — and, some of it is — but most of it details my physical features, complete with a center photo of me in the small red bikini I was wearing on the beach with Jess and Cassie. Of the entire article, only one tiny paragraph mentions my skills at the table.

Entering the code for the Omega Chi house into the keypad, I let myself through the front door and make my way back to Clinton’s bedroom.

“I brought bagels,” I say, louder than I expected, as I kick his door closed behind me. “Coffee, too.”

Clinton peeks at me through his heavy eyelids before reaching for his phone, noting the time. When he sees the look on my face, I sigh, setting the bag of bagels and coffee on his bedside table and retrieving the article from my pocket. I unfold it and drop it on his chest.

Squinting, he reads the headline, but his eyes widen at the slew of photos. I don’t even think he reads more than the first paragraph. Sighing, he crumples it, tosses it across his room, and scoots over, lifting the covers. “Come here.”

I crawl in, snuggling close to him as he tucks the covers around us. “They’re such assholes.”

“I know,” he says, his voice groggy as he kisses my forehead. “Did you talk to President Whittington about the paparazzi on campus yet?”

“Yeah, but so far everything they’ve taken of me has been off campus, technically. He assured me that if they tried anything on school grounds, he would step in and take legal action against them. But off campus, I need to watch out for myself.”

“I swear, if it ever happens when I’m around I’ll pummel their asses.”

I smile, resting my head on his chest. “Tell me about your life so I can stop thinking about mine for a while.”

Clinton blows out a breath, his fingers lazily tracing circles on my shoulder. “Well, I’ve been steadily banging someone since my birthday.”

“The random-birthday-kiss girl?”

“Indeed.”

I nod. “Huh. That’s kind of a big deal for you.”

“Tell me about it.” He reaches over me for the coffee I brought him. It’s probably a good thing I don’t drink coffee, otherwise I’d be even more wired than I am already. “She’s cool, though. Different.”

“Is she coming to Key West?”

He frowns. “No. I tried to convince her, but she’s not having it.”

I sigh. “Is it awful of me to feel like maybe I made a mistake inviting Adam?”

“Uh oh. Trouble in paradise?”

My stomach aches and I curl my legs into my body.
