Beck rubs the back of his head. “Guess we were wrong.”
Leo rolls his eyes. “She told me she broke up with her jerk of a boyfriend because he wasn’t emotionally there for her.” He beams. “She also said she was interested in me for a while now, but didn’t know how to break up with her boyfriend without hurting his feelings. Then she decided she didn’t care about his feelings anymore because he didn’t care about hers. All those times I would look at her, she noticed. And she liked it.” He sighs happily. “I’m in love, dudes.”
Jasper’s jaw hangs open. “In love? Nice! So we’ve got two guys in love while the other two are still losers. But that’s okay.”
I give him a look. “You and Beck aren’t losers because you haven’t found girls yet. It’ll happen when it’s meant to happen.”
Leo lifts a brow at me. “You’re in love with Raven?”
Beck laughs. “Man, were you even present the past few days? Of course he’s in love with her. Look at how he looks at her.”
Leo shrugs like he has no idea. “Sorry. Been thinking about Lilah a lot. We plan on spending the whole day together tomorrow.” He lies down. “Life is good.”
Beck turns to me. “I’m assuming you and Raven are spending the whole day tomorrow together, too.”
“That’s the plan.”
Jasper holds out his hand to Beck for a slap. “Guess it’s you and me, bro.”
Beck slaps it. “Until you meet a girl and abandon me.”
“You’re going to meet a girl first.”
“No, I won’t.”
“Yes, you will.”
They go at it for a few minutes. I look at Leo, but he’s on a different planet.
Pulling my phone from my pocket, I check to see if I have any texts from Raven. Nothing.
Kylen: Good news! Leo and Lilah are together. She broke up with her boyfriend and Leo spent the evening with her.
Raven: I’m so glad to hear that. They both deserve to be happy.
Kylen: Yeah, and now Beck and Jas are arguing who will get a girlfriend next. They’re driving me insane.
Raven: Lol. I’d offer for you to come to my room because it’s peaceful and quiet, but I don’t want us to get in trouble.
Kylen: I’d totally come over. Should I indeed put on a dress and pretend to be one of your friends?
Raven: So tempting, but I don’t think you can pull it off.
Kylen: Let me guess, my-pretending-to-be-a-girl skills are just as bad as my British accent?
Raven: Yep.
Kylen: And apparently I make one ugly girl.
Raven: I wouldn’t say that.
Kylen: Thanks. I think? Do you
Someone pushes my hand, and I accidentally send the text before finishing my sentence.
“Sorry, man,” Beck says as he bends close to my phone. “Was checking to see who you were texting.”
I shove him away. “It’s none of your business.”
