Cole walked back to the uys huddled in the corner There were no guards, but the nervous chatter was hushed As he walked up behind the, "And they think we&039;ll just do this? And that the girls will let us?"

Cole&039;s heart sank Plural, Chaucer said girls, , they were talking about the Pairing Apparently, Alice wasn&039;t the only one who got her date pushed up

Cole sat on the arm of the couch The conversation didn&039;t stop with his arrival Cole seldo, everyone looked at him, "How many were chosen?"

Brent, another dark haired, skinny guy looked at hi who&039;d they pair you with? Every single one of us was paired Dates for Pairings are listed on the front board Didn&039;t you see it?"

Cole shook his head "No, I didn&039;t"

Chaucer cut in, "Well, you won&039;t have to worry about it You pair&039;s one that has gone "

"Hey, hed They all turned and looked at Brent who shrugged his shoulders and said, "Ah, forget it You guys are taking this way too seriously Normally, they expect us to keep our hands to ourselves Now, they tell us that we don&039;t have to, and actually give us a girl, and we&039;re co forward to it"

Cole&039;s stomach suddenly felt like it was filled with acid The way all the other guys watched Brent, and avoided Cole&039;s gaze when the guy spoke, it made him feel sick "Who&039;ve you been Paired with?" he asked, even though he already knew

"Your sister," Brent beahts back, so I can tie her down" Brent&039;s smile was quickly shattered by Cole&039;s fist

Before he knehat happened, Cole sprang fro When his fist connected with the guy&039;s face, Cole felt soh Brent shrieked, as blood poured froot In that moment, Cole didn&039;t care if the wound was fatal, no one could talk about Cassie like that Before Cole could land another hit, the rest of the guys were pulling them apart

Chaucer hissed, "Stop it! Both of you! The guards are godknohere and all this h tiure this out noe never will Curfeas bu - they&039;ll isolate us until it&039;s over So, stop acting like we have the luxury of time, because we don&039;t!" Chaucer&039;s thin fra Cole and Brent

Cole backed away frouy wasn&039;t going to touch Cassie Cole just didn&039;t kno to prevent it He literally had a couple of hours to figure it out Then they&039;d all be in lock down Cassie would be raped

Cole felt sick, like he couldn&039;t keep the contents in his stoush blood, until they finally forced hio to the infirmary Without Brent, the conversation carried on until everyone knew that blood had spilled last night They still didn&039;t kno reed that all this strife had originated with Kahli

Chaucer re on the table in front of the couch, with his head in his hands "So what do we do? Try to run? Let theuys, but I actually like one of those girls, and it&039;s not the one they Paired reement Chaucer looked to Cole, "I won&039;t let him touch her"

Cole realized who it was he cared for Cassie Cole nodded once, acknowledging hi after his sister "Two people protecting Cassie will help, but it won&039;t stop Brent It won&039;t stop any of this The vaot no say in anything" Cole cracked his knuckles and stood

"Don&039;t you want to knoho they paired you with?" a voice asked Cole turned toward hi, "It would have been, Kahli They uys the power couple"

Cole couldn&039;t help it He laughed Shaking his head, he said, "They couldn&039;t have picked a worse Pairing Hardly anything is certain any I know beyond a shadow of a doubt"

Chaucer asked, "Yeah? What&039;s that?""

"She would have killed me"
