Larissa
“Did you find her yet?” one of my best friends asked as I pounded on the door in front of me
“I’m at the house where her phone’s location shows she’s at” I switched my cell phone to the other ear and looked overtruck in the driveway, so hopefully she’s here, and someone answers the door soon I’ll call you back when I knohat the heck is going on with her and the sexy sheriff”
“Don’t disappear onup If I hadn’t been worried sick about Allegra, our other best friend, I probably would’ve laughed because of how ridiculous the idea was I highly doubted I’d find a guy who’d ra did, the day after she stumbled upon her hot cop at the scene of an accident None of our trio had gotten into the dating scene in high school, so it would be super weird if two of us threw ourselves into the deep end at the same time
Scared that Allegra had ended up in water too deep for her to handle, I slaain I almost took a step back when a deep !” But I held ht be in trouble Steeling ain, but held it in the air when the door was flung open by a reen eyes “Who are you, and what the hell do you want?”
Refusing to be intimidated by him, I crossed my arms over my chest and stared him down I wanted to see my best friend withto leave until it happened “Where is Allegra? She missed both of her classes today, and I haven’t heard froht I don’t care that you’re the sheriff around here If you’ve hurt her in any way, I’ to make you pay”
The big lug’s lips curved up in a smirk at my threat, and I clenched my fists at my sides But then a familiar voice called, “I’m okay!”
My gaze darted over his shoulder, and I spotted Larissa at the top of the stairs She was practically swiood The surge of relief racing through , uy to get closer to my best friend
She rushed down the stairs and said, “I’m so sorry I disappeared all day I don’t even knohere I left my phone”
“It’s in ra’s sheriffhis ar her close “I noticed your battery was low after you fell asleep last night Since we have the sae in case you needed it later”
As thoughtful as it was that he’d thought to take care of Allegra’s phone for her, I wasn’t ready to cut hi to be helpful, you should’ve set an alarm so she wouldn’t have skipped the entire day and worried her friends” Shiftingyour location is shared with me on our phones, or else I wouldn’t have had any idea how to find you”
“I didn’t uy at her side with an aave and explained, “I just lost track of time”
“Yeah, I can tell,” I snorted, pointing at her bed head “But you’re going to need to figure out how to juggle having a guy and going to school, or else your grades will plummet and then your mom will be all up in your business even more than usual”
“You know getting a degree has never been ieelse,” she reminded me
“Yeah, but you can’t just drop out before the end of the se to back down just because she’d never been interested in getting a degree I needed soe her whole life for a guy she ht I crossedthat would help h her head
“There are only three weeks to go, so of course I’ to drop out,” she assured me with a smile
