on school grounds.” Luke grabbed his helmet and books. He leaned down and whispered in my ear. “When you see her have her meet me in the bathrooms by her first period class twenty minutes after it starts. Oh and tell her I love her.” He dutifully walked after the Vice Principal toward the main school building. The security guard still stood beside our table and glared at us before turning his attention to the doors. A busload of students walked in, that’s when I spotted Roxy. She had on a dark green hoodie pulled up over her raven hair. Her messenger bag was slung over her shoulders as she looked around the commons. I sighed when I saw the bags under her green eyes. Looks like Luke wasn’t the only one losing sleep. I muttered an excuse me and stood up heading over to her. “Hey.” She croaked at me. My lips pulled down in a frown. Damn she sounds pitiful. “Hi Roxy. I have to be quick unless they get to me too. Your dad has the security here keeping us away from you. I don’t know how it’s going to work with your classes and all but as soon as you got off the bus, they came and took Luke to the office. He wanted me to tell you he loves you and go to the bathroom twenty minutes after your first class starts. Shit got to go.” I rambled out before spotting the damn security guard heading my way. I quickly headed back toward my table and took a seat. Charles sat next to Beau munching on a sausage biscuit. He swallowed his bite. “ So I take it she gets a security detail now? Man, that fucking sucks.” I nodded my head in agreement and sadly looked over to Roxy. Jess had joined her at the table and sat a few seats down. It looked like she was talking to herself. I shook my head at her resourcefulness. Why didn’t I think of that? *****
Drez The bell rang indicating the end of second period. I rushed out the door and made my way to the locker where I was supposed to meet this Roxy bird. I wonder if they told her I was meeting her there. I rounded the corner and saw the girl in question opening her locker. Hmm, Beau was right. She is a cute little thing. I started to head over to her when the resident jock asshole, Bus, approached. He gave her a smug oily smile before he placed his arm over her shoulder. I leaned against the locker a few down from them crossing my arms over my chest to eavesdrop on the conversation. “So I heard that you and Luke are bro ken up?” Bus purred in her ear. “Really? And just who told you that bullshit?” She snapped at him slamming her locker shut. “Doesn’t matter. Not like it did before anyway.” He slithered up beside her as his light brown hand grabbed the base of her neck. I tensed up. “I can’t wait to get you on my list. Popping your cherry is so going to be worth the wait. I might even invite Luke to watch.” She narrowed her eyes at him and jerked her head away ripping some of her hair out in the process. “You’re too late for that. I’ve been getting a piece of him for weeks now and damn is he good.” This girl has some balls on her. I raised my eyebrows and stifled a chuckle before I addressed her. “Roxy?” She turned around and gawked at me. Her mouth dropped open as she openly appraised me. Her green eyes widened in appreciation when she noticed my angel tat. Bus shifted behind her drawing my attention to him. I narrowed my eyes at him and gave him my best evil glare. “Oh hey. Ready to go?” She glared at Bus over her shoulder before stalking off. “Was he bothering you?” I asked as I trailed behind her. A security guard shied away from us when he noticed I was walking with her. I gave him a slight nod. I’d better keep on their good side if I still want to be able to grab a shower before or after school hours. “Yeah. He’s been trying to get me in that book of his. The bastard just can’t seem to take no for an
