I skih lines creased by his h over the past teeks to know they were there for a reason He was large, built like an ox, and whenever I looked at hi him like a teddy bear

"How’d you know my last name?" I refused to look at Shay Colee told me to look out for his little sister, Kennedy Clarke"

I looked over and tried not to feel the punch to ht onaway All of his concentration was there My mouth was dry

"You’re friends with my brother?"

When did that happen? I doubted that was true Gage would’ve been preening like a peacock about it

Those eyes were still laughing at rin "He was at a party We got to talking about classes Told me to look out for you" Those lips lifted the rest of the way into a full smirk "He said his sister would have a chip on her shoulder Knew right aho he was talking about"

Air escaped led to keep a mask on my face "That’s hilarious"

The twinkle in Shay’s eyes told ot it I did I came off as a bitch, but trust me There was a reason I’d learned it was better to start swinging first than to get hit by so

Linde lifted up the worksheet "We’re supposed to talk about abortion" He pointed at the other two girls "Guessing you two chicks are pro-choice?"

The prettier one rolled her eyes "Shut up, Ray Just because we have vaginas doesn’t mean we’re about abortions"

"Yeah, but don’t you want to have the right to choose?"

Shay ht hiainst mine, then they moved as he leaned forward and rested his ar Her lips pressed together, and her eyes shifted to her friend

"Uh" The friend coughed and jerked forward in her seat Her elbows rested on her desk "What’s the worksheet asking us to discuss? Our individual opinions?"

Linde’s finger sled his head to read from it "Discuss the abortion law"

"That doesn’t mean we have to talk about our personal opinions" The prettier one ripped the sheet fro as she read more of the question "To further develop your own position on abortion, review the following points raised by a pro-life and a pro-choice view Your group must present your discussion to the class" She snorted and pushed the worksheet back to Linde "Fuck that I’"

Linde looked warily at the paper

"I’ll present it for us" Shay leaned forward, his knee resting against ain as he reached for the worksheet "What about you, Clarke? What’s your opinion on abortion?"

I shrugged I had no opinion

Why was his knee touching irl raised her eyebrows in encouragement "You have to have an opinion"

"What’s yours?"

A low chuckle canored the look, picking up a pen to write whatever she said His leg could’ve ain, but it didn’t He kept it there, pressing right against me

He raised his eyebrows, too "Hmmm, Becs? I’m ready to write"

"Fuck you, Colerew red, but his eyes were holding steady on her, and a little grin appeared on her face "I don’t know What do you want me to say?"
