I had been late meeting Kendall after school, but when I stepped out into the parking lot and looked toward my car, I was met with a surprise.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZSmpdfu5L
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa60TxvIAR1
Kendall was perched on my car, head tilted back as she laughed. But who she was laughing at was another guy.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssJlZuPvXE

I stopped and craned my neck to see if she’d notice me. It didn’t happen right away but when it did, her eyes widened and she slid off the hood and beckoned me over. I walked toward her, trying to ignore both the stranger’s gaze and the sudden spike of jealous that stabbed my gut.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnoIwKA3Ms

“Hi,” Kendall said cheerfully. “Christian, this is Jude.” She indicated between the two of us, all smiles.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOYhoebqv0
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp9uUcwuUT
Jude turned his head in my direction, his deep green eyes sizing me up, and then his lips spread into a slow smile.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwxjLG7VaW
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGkYehEpo2
“Hello,” he said, nodding. “I’m sorry if I’ve interrupted something. I was just getting to know your girlfriend since I’m new. She’s quite lovely.”145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1i6TKUTod
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteLS6b3XOC
“She’s not your type,” I heard myself say. I glanced at Kendall but she hadn’t appeared to have heard me. If she did, she was doing me a favor by ignoring my words.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6Nd7uuaHB
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SacPQlCw5
Jude made a noise in the back of his throat and looked back at Kendall. He didn’t say anything, just handed her a piece of paper and walked away, but not before purposefully knocking shoulders with me.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgbAcmFDy0
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaeejScbJF
“Jerk,” I said, glaring at his retreating form.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9bDhv0S7y
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA49GASnwn
Kendall cleared her throat.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAT55wcoYg

“That was a little rude, don’t you think?” she asked, raising an eyebrow. “He’s new and you probably just made him feel like absolute shit.”145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsfUw8CM9b
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmLC9gJsfx
“I made him feel like shit? Kendall, he was practically drooling in your goddamn lap.” I nearly shouted, but stopped and lowered my voice. “Look, I’m sorry. I know I shouldn’t be getting this upset.”145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDQRLY1fUO
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6rr1hnw5P
“It’s not like we’re together or anything,” she pointed out. “So you need to stop being so jealous and overprotective for nothing.”145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMJCwAuDCH
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70Hte7X5nL
I frowned, realizing he was right. I sounded like a fucking child, wanting something I wasn’t getting. I ran a hand down my face and groaned.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioiaIn3pUg
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajAeA5MHQa
Her hands came to rest on my shoulders, even though I couldn’t see her. Her hands wrapped around mine and pried them away. I looked into her golden eyes and managed a smile.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTinCwYfdLT
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXvirClN6I
“Even though you were being a dick,” she said, smirking, “I guess it’s nice to have someone standing up for me.”145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4wyiKZGMO
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGaOvJO6EE
I grinned at her, leaned forward and pressed my mouth to hers. She didn’t do anything to push me away, only surprised me by wrapping her arms around my neck and pulling me closer. She smelled like strawberries and vanilla.145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb4ft3Dj2A

“So,” I muttered, “wanna go out with me then, Scott?”145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqAiRjC4cS
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcMow1shr4
I know she hated when I used her last name, but if she was mad she didn’t express it. Instead she broke away from me and said, “What could it hurt?”145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmZQYO1kLO
145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AUHFTygjh
As we stepped away from each other and got into my car, I felt a chill run through my body. As Kendall settled in the passenger seat, I looked around the parking lot. It was mostly deserted, except for a few people. Among them was a pair of eyes, dark like the forest, staring straight at us. 145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFd8WN1FjV
