Banks likes her

It’s not the first tiht about it Shit, I’ve thought a lot about the idea of Banks & Sulli together

Romantically

My jaw tenses at that word But at leastlot Fuck If Banks were any other guy—if I didn’t know hi her towards me To protect her from the bastards of the world

She’s like a sister I rest against Booger Yeah, she’s like a sister

But Banks is the kind of guy I’d pair with my sister in a heartbeat He’s considerate, honorable, selfless—he treats wo mortal men He’d worship her

I’d run to the ends of the earth for her

I shake the thought away Why the hell does that matter? Banks isn’t Will Rochester He’s not a shitstain or a prick like her ex-boyfriend If she likes him, she should be with him

But even trying to picture their first date deadbolts o blank and self-eject

I’m not jealous

My chest sinks I can’t be jealous…

More likely, I’ve never been a real third wheel with Sulli Even with Will, she chose to hang around me over him She’d constantly turn to me

Talk to me

Play with ly, friendly

Being a third wheel—this is just new tome feel weird shit That has to be it

Banks leads Sulli out of the store, a plastic bag in his hand and in hers I nod to Sul, “What’s the dae?”

She bypasses ummy worms” And then she climbs into the backseat

Banksdown the donut Sulli crammed in his mouth

Am I bitter?

So rises to the back of my throat

While I screw on the gas cap, Banks hands“Unless you want to spend another hundred o unfuck that”

“I’ to theof the backseat Every ti a pussy

So that’s what I’

My dick Exiting her pussy

I blink and blink to get that shit out of lass

Sulli rolls it down, and I rest ht All sweets Her dietary habits lie solely at the top of the food pyra, she says, “Hey”

“Hey,” I sraces

She bites a gummy “What do you want, Kits?”

“Just to talk, say hey”
