She looks away fro as the words come out

“Are we clear?”

“Crystal” I nod and bite down hard on h to cover up a chuckle

God, if only Darcy were here so I could enjoy this with someone

“You think this is funny?” She glares at me “If Julian sees us—”

“Then you’ll talk to hiht home?” I say hopefully

“Oh relax, Katie Stop acting like this is going to kill you”

“Yeah, Kat, you’re such a party pooper”

My eyes widen at the sound of Darcy’s voice in my ear I turn around and wrap my arms around her I can’t wipe the smile off my face, because I’m so happy to see her I sneak a look back at Lily, who looks less happy In fact, she looks like she’s about to pop a blood vessel

“What’s up, Lil?” Darcy grins Her dark eyes shine as she raises her eyebrows “Anyone would think you’re not happy to see me”

“Then anyone would be right,” Lily snarls, when she’s recovered enough to speak “What are you doing here, Darcy?”

“Kat invited

“I did not invite you,” I retort,

“You didn’t?” She frowns, her brow creasing “Well, fuck This is e, then So, you didn’t text me this text?”

She pauses while she pulls out her phone I s, re the text I sent her just after Lily pickedher as she starts to read

“How much will it costto get uess you’re right It’s technically not an invite, but oh well I’m here now”

“Thanks,” I hiss, glaring at her

I don’t think Darcy understands the concept of being subtle

Lily’s eyes flash at me “I do you a favor and this is how you treat me?”

“Hold on, who’s doing who the favor?” I say, laughing
