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.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcZXvs1PYx
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ317DPCwEP
Kendall was perched on my car, head tilted back as she laughed. But who she was laughing at was another guy.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjprfROc1g

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.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN5pUIfweT

“Hi,” Kendall said cheerfully. “Christian, this is Jude.” She indicated between the two of us, all smiles.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfv1Qk0TaO
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyB0XwJd3X
Jude turned his head in my direction, his deep green eyes sizing me up, and then his lips spread into a slow smile.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p0kbuNONs

“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.”86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco0OpYk8bn
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iM6DXAqMn
“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.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeKBc7avwC
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI0ZwpYQx9
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.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDs0J5YkwK

“Jerk,” I said, glaring at his retreating form.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFPOFmeDcM

Kendall cleared her throat.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdhaFimgt3

“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.”86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pcx5DHq4c
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifpAp5SMlm
“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.”86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIEzVKYt50
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecQrKV5rm9
“It’s not like we’re together or anything,” she pointed out. “So you need to stop being so jealous and overprotective for nothing.”86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEo3eO97Au
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqd908TYCZ
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.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQcQiWLno7

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.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKELXNL6HKI
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJzSARPlfd
“Even though you were being a dick,” she said, smirking, “I guess it’s nice to have someone standing up for me.”86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMfgHmisCr
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm5ykSjqA3
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.86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gNI9nAYIP
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcBrtjOLLq
“So,” I muttered, “wanna go out with me then, Scott?”86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyMi67apxL
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG1fpbCZ9l
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?”86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlyqN1JBNu
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z2Oh8Vsyt
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. 86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0afgzqTzA
