I went to argue when Arden ruffled my hair, making it fall in my face as I let out a sound of annoyance.

“So, Charter?” Kate raised an eyebrow at me, sending Arden a dirty look as he walked away. “Hot but rough as fuck. You don’t want to get involved with the likes of him.”

“I can assure you I’m not interested in Arden Charter,” I hissed as Kate threw her glossy brown hair over her shoulder.

“Good. I like you and Harley together.”

I groaned as Kate pushed her arm through mine, her perfume filling my nostrils as I nodded to the others to follow us.

“Tonight, we need to dress the fuck up. Get ready at mine; I’ve got so much alcohol it’s stupid.”

Sarah slid her arm through my free one as the Math class loomed before me.

“I swear if Eloise goesanywherenear Henry, I’m going to lose my shit. She’s such aslut.”

Kate’s sapphire blue eyes darkened as she scowled at Sarah. “Henry won’t if he knows what is good for him. They go for her because she sucks anyone off—”

“Kate Gardener! If I hear you talking like that again, I willpersonallycall your parents.”

Kate grimaced at the booming voice before turning to flutter her eyelashes innocently at our math teacher, who was glaring at her with disgust.

“What you do in your spare time—”

“Sir! Are you suggesting I suck——”

“Kate!”

I giggled when the Math teacher pointed at his room, his face puce.

“Get into classnow.”

“Yes, sir.”

Chapter Three

By the time we arrived, the party was in full swing. I was pulled into the same strong arms that had circled me this morning, and I sighed.

Harleywashot, but he bored me. “You lookinsane, Jain.” Harley kissed my cheek as I forced a smile.

“Thanks.”

I knew I looked good, but I didn’t make the effort for him. I moved his hands away, and he frowned, watching me walk over to my friends.

Kate was surrounded by the guys, as usual. She wore a corset over tight leather trousers, her breasts spilling over the top. I glanced at Sarah, who was close by, and she turned to me with interest. “So, the new English teacher...” Sarah drawled, her deep red lips smirking as she winked at me.

“Yeah, I don’t think he’s going to get me through my final year.”

“Will you fuckingchill? Just do your best. If you don’t pass—”

“Then I don’t get into uni. It’s a biggie, Sarah.”

“I bet he’sgota biggie.”

I looked at her, laughing in disbelief.

“Sarah, are you interested in ourteacher?”

“Ooh, I could be. He isn’t very old, is he? Ah fuck, Eloise is here,” Sarah muttered.
