Speaking of John, he ca equal with Alex, who as a Body, should have towered over everyone He did, for theHe overwhelmed all of us with his physique But that personality hadn’t gotten big like the rest of hiuy we’d e like a super hero

"Where’s your car, Hart?" Alex asked and I sighed I guess I was gonna hear it today Bry and I were the only ones that actually had cars, Jade borrowed her aunt’s and Mia brought hers but it was The Toaster It was a two guy or three girl ride We had stuffed Archer in there with the chicks one time but he hadn’t cared There was no aard turtle etting a conversion I’ my credit, ya asswipes"

Lewis joined the conversation, "Your grandpa has the credit for that hot rodat his place?"

I nodded

"It’s a Caed "Not a car worshiper, so bite me"

"Bite you?" Jonesy asked, tense

"You seem interested, Jones," Alex said with a sly s hiet the Camaro," He looked at Jonesy with a smirk, "to the conversions center?"

"Drove it," I said

"No shit?" John asked with a stunned expression

"Yeah," I said slowly, "So?"

"Did he use fossil fuel to get there, Caleb?" Archer asked

"Probably"

Archer frowned "That’s a huge fine"

"Nah, he’s got soets outta line," I said

Jonesy laughed, shaking his head "I think he keeps those ’grandfathered’ cards around like a deck and flips them out to the Person in Authority when he needs to End of story"

Bry walked up to us looking around "Where are the girls?"

"They’re coot a pulse fro lame for Griswold then she’d be here I relayed that

"What’s she doing for Griswold?" John asked

I shrugged, hadn’t asked Was all about the time

Sophie, Tiff and Jade walked up Bry asked, "Where’s Mia?"

All three girls gave him a speculative look and his face turned a little red under their scrutiny "What?" he asked, ja his hands in his pockets

"Your noticeable interest, dillweed," Tiff ht behind them, saw all the aardness and said, "What?"

Jonesy s for you, wonderin’ about your location so he could stalk you with accuracy"

I couldn’t believe it, even fro but no sound was co out Mia looked at him in amusement and Bry looked ready to murder Jonesy

"So you wanted to knohere I was, huh?" she asked him and his face became redder

If possible

He nodded "I’o here"

Mia shrugged a slim shoulder and flicked her hair behind her shoulder and Bry blushed Again

He had it bad The girls knew their charht

Sophie stalked over to Jonesy, her hips rolling smoothly on her weapons-for-heels Jade floated over to me, her lips a raspberry perfection in the reen quartz captured me I was helpless to look away even as in my peripheral vision I saw Mia stroll over to Bry and lay a hand on his muscular forearm I watched his Adam’s apple bob in response

"Tiff!" Bry yelled and she sin’ on whatever flustered people

I was about ready to sail out the school doors when Buddy walked up Without the losers

Good thinkin’

He looked at Sophie standing by Jonesy, his face hardening Alaran to sound in my head Hell, I’d have to be late and do some really crappy drills now

But I couldn’t leave a potential mess Jonesy and Buddy squared off and the other dudes backed up

"Why don’t you fuck off, Buddy?" Jonesy asked in a pleasant voice, the girls gasping at the strength of his wording right outta the box
