That’s when Jack looks over his shoulder and sees me there Our eyes rin
"Savannah, hey This is irl "Savannah’s living at et chips and salsa?" she asks, turning away from me
"Sure" Jack seems startled that Kelsey just snubbed me, but I’m not She clearly wants to ju
"You want to sit with us, Savannah?" Jack asks
"Yeah, we do," Rory rushes to reply His eyes flick over to Vanessa
After I get my order, I join Jack, Kelsey, Vanessa, and Colton at a circular booth in the corner Curious, I watch them out of the corner ofin Between texts, she feeds chips to Jack, giggling like crazy He eats the chips she feed hi--just like with 99 percent of all guys But he glances at ood," Vanessa says, shoveling it into her ht-up butter," Jack says, practically inhaling his rice
"I wish they served this stuff at Starbucks," Vanessa says
"You only love three things in this world" Colton ticks theuys at Starbucks"
"That is so not true," she replies, throwing a tortilla chip at Colton’s face The chip sticks to his black T-shirt He plucks it off and eats it
Rory slides into uys are so rude I can’t believe you started eating before I was seated"
"That’s what you get for being a perv, Whitfield," Vanessa says, sucking her drink through her straw She shakes her cup "I’m already out of iced tea"
"Maybe if you didn’t drink like a horse," Rory says
Vanessa rattles her cup again, trying to get et you more to drink I won’t be able to eat in peace if I don’t," Rory says, leaping to his feet and snatching the cup out of her hand He jogs over to the beverage station to get a refill He comes back and passes Vanessa her tea She takes one sip and nearly gags
"This is warm Where’s the ice?" she asks
"Oh, well I don’t like ice, so I didn’t get you any"
"But it’s iced tea!" she says "It tastes crappy when it’s warm"
"Oh" Rory looks down at the cup "Maybe you should put soh and Vanessa throws a tortilla chip at hi furious, but then it turns into a subtle smile
"So," Jack says to me "Tell --"
I’ about the college party she went to last night "It was an underwear party and everybody danced around in foa everywhere"
Jack bites into his taco, looking perturbed at Kelsey
Rory s the scrap of paper out of his pocket again and jots down underwear and silly string
"Tell ram pictures," Colton says to Kelsey "The one from the sorority you want to rush next year"
"She said she’s going to study abroad this spring," Kelsey says
"Never -distance relationships are hard," Colton replies "I couldn’t handle dating that girl Ellen I met in Murfreesboro"
Jack rolls his eyes "That’s only thirty minutes from here"
"Yeah" Colton purses his lips and shakes his head "She was just too far away I can watch a whole episode of I Didn’t Knoas Pregnant in that a like horses, Rory and Vanessa stand to go refill their cups at the same ti orange soda spray on her hand
"You ass!" She pushes on the ice button, grabs a cube of ice, and drops it inside his T-shirt He juet her into bed now," Coltonshe’s popular and wealthy, I don’t think Rory will ever get her into bed even if he does behave like a perfect gentleman
After dinner at the perverted taco place, we drive out to a huge field where a large bonfire is already blazing Tiki torches are everywhere I feel like I’ on a deserted island, I have to survive a couple of hours with people I’ve never met before
Trucks and four-wheelers are parked on the roup of kids, drinking, dancing, laughing, ju around
The second I hop down fro at h the crowd, laughing and grinning at everybody He seems like the All-American Guy, one of those people everyone wants to be friends with When I get separated froh a cluster of people and grabs ets the attention of the girls And unlike the guys siving ht," Rory says quietly He scansVanessa is silently drinking froirl speeds over to Rory and ju hi to Vanessa, but the second I open my mouth, I lose ood at rew up around horses and boys andat her and inia"
