"You’re the one that said you wanted to be noticed," she says "Bragger’s a co short, sohtful, and then people like and com, you will be interacting with other humans If you want out of the box you hide in, then you need to crack open the flaps and bask in soe was going to help?"

RAZOR
IT’S A HUMID NIGHT The day was so hot the air sht posts and the pros off his bike and straightens to his full six feet His pissed-off glare could shatter the diner’s
Since I arrived ho for a release A scan of the diner and I catch up on why Chevy nine-one-one’d irl, Violet, locked in a kiss in the corner booth with the town’s biggest asshole, but God does work inblack Harley ruine and his head is that of an owl as he swings his gaze between us and Violet’s public display A crowd of guys fro in the diner They eat and shoot the breeze as the guy shoving his tongue down Violet’s throat begins to move his hand near the hem of her shirt
"Shit" Oz verbalizes how deep we are in this minefield People are automatically scared of Oz, with that unruly black hair and don’t-fuck-with-me attitude Now that he officially has the three-piece patch of the Terror on his back, people fall over theet out of his way
He flips me the bird and I flip it back Not ready for Dad’s father-son talk, I went fishing at the Pond with Oz Chevy texted a few o he needed backup, and Oz and I raced to town I cut Oz off near the railroad tracks and he’s pissed I beat hi this?" Oz asks Chevy as he sidles up to the two of us
Chevy’s dark eyes harden into an answer He’s one hundred percent a McKinley Chestnut hair, brown eyes, tall as hell and a mean bastard when he chooses to be Even at seventeen, his personality randfather and uncle--the two uys in the Terror Each of them are laid-back, easy to talk to, but if you push their button wrong, they’ll hurl you through a concrete wall
"There’s six of them," I state And three of us I thrive off those odds "Two of those guys in there were some of the ones that stood back and watched when that asshole beat up Stone last year I still believe a lesson should have been taught to them all" Not just to the bastard e er
Stone is the fourteen-year-old and aard-as-hell kid brother of the girl currently giving us heartburn Stone and Violet’s dad belonged to the club and died in an accident a little over a year ago Club takes care of their fa anyone frorown up with her since birth
"Should Iwith thelare on hiic could killa punch
"Was that picture put on Bragger Violet’s choice?" Chevy spits
There’s a daer site called Snowflake Sluts A couple weeks ago so picture of Violet Oz and Chevy confronted her on it and she laughed it off, clai it didn’t bother her But then she showed atto the point I couldn’t understand her
That’s a lie She did ht revenge on the asshole who posted the pic or ran the account
Fucked-up part--none of us can prove who posted the pic, and because I’d prefer for Violet to come to ure out who’s responsible But roup inside
I’ve heard rueted on the account look at those guys like they’ve stolen a part of their soul As far as I’e, jury and verdict
"That’s our faest jackass we know," Chevy argues with Oz "You think he respects her? You think he has her best interests in mind?"
