His face instantly turned bright red Maegan and Libby both snapped their heads over and waited for his answer

"Um…well, um--"

"Luke!" I shouted

"No! Jesus, Alex No, I’an," he shouted back at an’s face dropped, and I knew Libby was atte Honey, you’re like my little sister, and I-I don’t think of you like that" Luke pushed his hands through his hair and rolled his eyes "Thanks, Alex, for putting me on the dahed "Well, it’s out now We all knew you never had any intention of sleeping with Maegan" I turned and looked at Maegan

She smiled weakly and nodded her head She turned to Libby "I’m sorry, Lib"

Libby looked shocked as she looked at Maegan "Uh…sorry for what?" she asked Maegan

"I knew you liked Luke, and I don’t knohat ca with Luke drove you nuts"

Libby quickly glanced at Luke before looking back at Maegan Luke stared at Libby, but he didn’t say anything

I cleared my throat "Grace, I think we all just want to know What in the hell do you see in Mike?"

Luke stepped in front of Grace and put his hands on her shoulders "I swear to God, Grace, if I ever catch hiht, I’ll kick his damn ass"

"What? What happened?" Will asked as he pulled me into his arms

Grace stepped back and away from Luke "He was drunk, Luke He isn’t normally like that"

"Grace…" I whispered

I hated that she wasexcuses for that ass I had heard him belittle her on more than one occasion Why Grace put up with him I didn’t know, but she didn’t put up with anyone’s shit She looked at me and smiled weakly

"I promise He really isn’t a dick like y’all think Once we leave Mason, things are going to change," Grace said

I had a terrible feeling in e, but I didn’t think it would be how Grace thought

Will slapped his hands together "All right, y’all Let’s hteen years of our lives Let’s have fun and get crazy!"

"Hell yeah!" Luke said as he and Will slapped their hands together
