My eyes slice to hers

I can’t even look at him

“It has,” he agrees, his stare burning into my cheek

“Well, it’s very good to see you, and here, but if I don’t run, I’ll be late,” she announces, her eyes raking over Nico onceto me

She gives ive ood job

I bite into my cheek as she squares her shoulders and moves down the driveway to her car, one foot in front of the other like she’s on a runway

I force my expression to re, I’d rather slam the door in Nico’s face then stand here and make eye contact with him after that

I take a sirls tiptoeing toward the slider, all three being assholes, ers as they disappear froether

Jerks

“Not gonna invite me in?”

Nico’s jeering tone hasback to him

His though, they aren’t on mine

They’re on s, and instantly my mom’s cohts, and I can’t help but wonder what he’s thinking

It’s not like I can’t hang in a bikini with the best of thes for days It just so happens I have hs and calves than most

Still, there’s so bikini in front of a guy who has probably seen more naked chicks than Ironman pre-Pepper

Whatever, I’ve danced in front of hundreds in outfits just as revealing

Finally, his eyes cohtest bit

“Guys aren’t allowed in when one”

“Not the vibe I got”

He’s obviously trying to piss

Nico gauges ht, well, I’d hate to get the duchess in trouble, so let’s make this quick, yeah? I—”

“Can you just go?” I cut him off, irritated not only atme “We can talk about whatever it is you need in class tomorrow”

He looks off in the distance, licking his lips before his eyes slowly move back to mine

“Does that work?”

He gives a slow nod but doesn’t move

After a few seconds of staring, a deep chuckle leaves hiht, huh, D?”

He takes a few backward steps before shaking his head and finally walking away

I close the door, letting out a deep breath “Well, that sucked,” I huff, then remember my asshole friends are outside and head their way
