"Wasn’t she ?"

I did a double take at Matteo "How are you this drunk and still re "Steel trap" He tapped his head

The presentation had gone fine, but Marissa refused to talk to ht before class Matteo and Drew had been there, waiting for ht the tension between us I was surprised others hadn’t The entire class had walked past us When Marissa turned her back to otten a few raised eyebrows

I looked for the others froroup The redhead had talked to Drew after our exaot invited, but I didn’t see her or the other two "Is she alone?"

Matteo grunted "She doesn’t look alone" The guy still had his hand on her ass, but he leaned forward and kissed her exposed neck

Marissa didn’t react She kept raising her hands in the air, pu, bleeding the songs together so the beat slowed So did Marissa’s hands and she paused As the beat built, speeding up and getting louder, everyone waited Then the beat exploded and another wave of energy went over the crowd Marissa reacted, juuy leaned back, just holding onto her hips to keep her close

Drew said over my shoulder, "Dude She’s clueless She doesn’t even know that guy is there"

A growl came from me, and I pushed Matteo forward

He said, "Hey"

I kept propelling hih the crowd I said over my shoulder to Drew, "Stay close Watch the crowd to see if any girls react e get to her She ot to theht of Matteo and grinned, waving at hi Release the wench"

"What?"

I rolledsaw me, saw the scowl on ht she was single I swear"

I grabbed Marissa’s ar I said to hile Get lost before I decide to find out who you are and kick your ass later"

His eyes got big, and he was gone in an instant

"Marissa" I pulled her closer "Hey"

One of her eyes opened, peeking at ed my nostrils, and I moved so I could yell into her ear, "Who are you here with?"
