A small smile flirted at the corners of Skylar’s mouth "Look, I’uess, you’ve probably already fked this up royally You can thank hed "I don’t need you to tell me how badly I’ve fked up"

"Yeah, you do," she said bluntly "Look, Eden has a thing for you I think it’s wonderful It’s obvious she’s not some obnoxious snob who thinks she’s better than the rest of the human population And she’s very interested in you While you’re doing your best to fk everything up You couldn’t have looked more displeased when she asked you to room with her She looked crushed"

Skylar grinned "Now that I’ pictures of"
