The door opens, and she jumps when I look up to see Ryat and Gunner both enter the roo the door open, obviously taking her away from me

She looks back atme a soft smile “I’ll see you in class tomorrow”

I nod, pissed that they interrupted whatever she was about to tellisn’t too bad

Ryat enters his bathroo hi water on his face “Are we staying here tonight?” I ask him

“No,” co a hand towel off a hook and running it down his face Then he just tosses it onto the counter “We’re headed to your apart back to his bedroom

“How long are we going to do this?” I ask, following him

“Don’t, Blake,” he snaps “I’ht now”

“Maybe I’m not in the mood to put up with your shit!” I push

He spins around, his hand goes to my throat and shoves me back into the wall So hard it knocks the air out of , and his green eyes are slits on mine with a tic in his sharp jaw

I al he could be He’s been nice, understanding even But it re to him Like I said in the car, I’m just here so he can piss off Matt

“I said I’ht now And I gest you back the fuck off” His voice is low, his words controlled, but his hand around s at the moment

I wonder if it’smy chin, my lips thin “I understand”

We exit his roo out of a rooives me a smile It o to Ryat, and I notice the black eye that he has What the hell happened to hi? Is that why Ryat is on edge? Did Matt say so to him about ot the chance to do anything crazy

“See you soon,” Matt speaks, nodding his head to Ryat with that smile still on his face

Ryat grabs my hand and yanks me down the hall I look back at him over my shoulder just as the bleach blonde exits Matt’s roo the door behind them
