I nod “And re to Sandra? Well, I never said anything to you guys, but Nico and Sandra were hooking up the first feeeks of school, so when Alex was after Sandra, she was already sleeping with Nico”

“So Alex fucked Josie while her and Nic were still together, then Alex goes and fucks Sandra while she and Nico are hooking up?”

“And not only the happened with Miranda”

“What?!”

“Holy shit!”

“I knew she was fucking students!”

They all fire off at the same time

“It gets worse”

They sit, wide-eyed and wait for more

I hesitate, holdingthe secret nobody else sees froh lately, and they have no reason to tell anyone what I’m about to share

“Alex is Nico’s stepbrother”

The three of theape at me, at a loss for words

“Turns out Nico’s dad is married to Alex’s mom”

Krista frowns, sitting back “How the hell could I not have known this?”

“I don’t think anyone does”

“Trent?” She lifts a brow

“It’s not his secret to share Mine either but” I shrug

“Who told you?” Carley leans forward

I scoff, shaking h “My mom told me Dr Hammons called to set up a dinner when really it was Nico’s dad who called her I all you do now about our relationship, to find Mr Sykes standing there, Nico walking through the door only minutes later”

“Holy shit,” Carley whispers

I look away “Everything et even with Alex, and he used me to make it happen”

“What an asshole,” Macy mutters

I nod, wiping under ertips “When Nico first suggested this stupid fake relationship, I thought it was nuts, but so screw it It was the weekend, and I could change my mind when the week rolled around if I wanted, you know?” A sad laugh leaves me and I sniffle

“But you never changed your mind,” Carley says quietly “You fell for him instead”
