"This won't be happening for long," I say as we sit at the table.
"Nah," Linc agrees. "It's only been a couple days."
"Yeah, but it's been a couple days that she's still been athistable. When is she going to sit here with me?" I ask aloud, sounding like a chick.
Ethan shrugs a shoulder. "Don't know, man, but I imagine it's not easy for her."
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't be dumb. You've heard them talking shit," Ethan answers.
"Wait. They say shitto her?Not just the whispers?"
"You really are an idiot," Ben tells me.
"Of course they talk shit to her. They want you and she's got you. What do you think happens when you've got jealous prissy rich bitches wanting you for themselves? They sure as hell aren't going to talk shit to you. They're going to what they think is the weakest link—your girl," Kennedy informs me.
"She's not weak. Why's she letting this happen?" I'm confused.
"Why areyou?" Jesse asks.
Yeah. Good question.
"Fuck this," I say. "Let's go." I grab my tray and head over to where Tera's sitting. We pull up extra chairs and invade her space.
I hear them and I know she does too. I can tell by the rigid set of her shoulders.
Gold digger… slut… easy lay… trash.
I turn around and stand up and walk over to their table. I slam my hand down hard. You could hear a pin drop.
"That's enough!" I shout. "You will show some respect."
"Yeah, I don't think so," Amy replies. Head cheerleader. Head bitch. All her minions are quiet, but not her. Never her. She's one of those chicks whose parents have money and has a false sense of entitlement because of it. She thinks she'sitbut she's not.
Tera's it.
"I think so. Either you stop your bullshit or I'm going to ask Tera to handle this. I can guarantee you, you don't want that," I smirk.
Tera looks over, grinning.
"C'mere, baby," I call out.
Carter's brows are up almost into his hairline. Did he really think I'd let them treat her badly? No. That's the same as them treating me like shit, because we areus.
Tera walks over with a sassy smirk and I get a little hard. This girl.
I reach for her hand and she gives it freely. I tug her into my side, wrapping my arm around her waist. She leans into me.
"Now, Amy. I believe you owe Tera an apology," I demand.
"For what? Telling the truth?" Amy stands up. I suppose she feels at a disadvantage with us looking down on her.
"There isn't an ounce of truth in that bullshit you're spewing."
Amy crosses her arms and Tera's hand twitches at my side. Amy's gonna get her ass kicked. I can already see it happening.
"It's all true!" Amy shouts. "She's trash. She was with Carter because he's rich and popular and now she's with you for the same reason!"
