"She better not!" I hear Ty’s voice a second later

"Hey, what’s up?" I say to hile one of Rowe’s drawers It’s a tricky prank, because I have to hold her clothes inside with one arer than I should on her underwear and bras, which Ty points out immediately

"This is a new level of creepy, bro Even for you," he says, stopping right next toin

"Just a little prank," I sood one I’ to the dresser next to Rowe’s I just shrug because honestly the only things I’ve ever noticed in this roo to Rowe

Ty slides the top-drawer open and pulls out a bra, holding it in front of hinize this lovely little thing," he says, and I roll my eyes at him "What? Just because you can’t close a deal like I can, don’t give me shit"

For some reason, what he says makes me start to think about how I feel about Rowe And yeah, I want to kiss her And yeah, I want to reain And there are probably a s that involve her that I would never say no to But I’m not in a hurry And for solad I’

"Hey, you really like Cass, huh?" I say, flipping over her botto hs, never answering, which is enough for me He really likes her, and that’s kind of a first for hi stupid to ain

I’m about to push the last drawer in all the hen I feel a pile of so slide out onto o and feelcards, but then I pull them out to look at them and realize they’re photos--photos of Roith the boyfriend I slide the drawer in the rest of the way and sit back on her bed to flip through them

The first one is of her and him in what looks like her parents’ driveway, and they’re dressed in for to some dance Then there are a couple of pictures of the to ju in the photo, and it strikes h like this

"Hey, dude? Do you know if Rowedoes she…" I’m almost afraid to ask, so I just flip the last picture over and hand it to hi her on the cheek, and she’s literally squealing with happiness "Does she have a boyfriend?"

Ty takes the photo in, looking at it for a long ti it back toon the planet I want to ask Mostly because it’s the last answer on the planet I want to hear…unless the answer is no

I help Ty with the last couple drawers, and we lock their door fro it back to a close When we pass the elevator, I hear Paige laughing while she talks on her phone, and she holds a finger up to try to get our attention, but we both keepnot to see it Ty’s eyes turn sideways to catch h quietly

"Dude, I can’t stand that chick! How is it that I’m crazy about her sister?" Ty says, and I know he just answereddeal out of it So I don’t And instead, I focus on the first part

"She has great tits!" I say, waiting for hiood point Way to focus on the positive She does indeed have great tits," Ty says, grabbing the re the TV on to Sports Center
