"How about the Dunns love her," Ella announces as she appears in the doorway flanked by two others. Violet and Micah, I assume.

"Um… how didn't we know this?" Brax asks.

"Because you're not cool enough to spend any time with them, asshole," Violet barks, walking around Ella. "Ignore these assholes, they think they're something special because they're on the team but what they don't tell you is that they have no chance of making first string or talking to the likes of the Dunns."

"Vi, girl. That stings," West says, holding his hand over his heart.

"Yeah, get over it. Truth hurts." She smiles up at him as he pulls her into his chest and kisses the top of her head.

"Whatever, Titch."

"Right, well. Are we ready to go? I need tacos like… yesterday."

"Yes. Let's go."

"You've never had tacos like these, Letty. You are in for a world of pleasure," Brax says excitedly.

"More than she would be if she were in your bed, that's for sure," West deadpans.

"Lies and we all know it."

"Whatever." Violet pushes him toward the door.

"Hey, I'm Micah," the third guy says when I catch up to him.

"Hey, Letty."

"You need a sensible conversation, I'm your boy."

"Good to know."

Micah and I trail behind the others and with each step I take, my smile gets wider.

Things really are going to be okay.

"Whoa, look who decided to show their face. Classes started this morning, you know," Devin barks as I join him and the twins in their kitchen.

"Fuck off," I grunt. "I was busy."

"Our old man taking liberties again?"

"Something like that," I mutter. "One for me?" I ask, nodding at the beer in Devin's hand.

"Sure thing, man."

He pulls one from the refrigerator and throws it over. I catch it easily and knock the top off.

"Behind before you've even started. Not the best start to your college career, Legend."

"Whatever, nerd." I rub my hand on Ellis's head and jump up on the counter. "So, what have I missed?"

"They wouldn't know. Both were so fucking hungover they missed classes."

"And you're giving me shit?" I balk at Devin and Ezra.
