One of the others raised his eyebrows when he noticed me watching them. “What?”

“Nothing,” I replied flatly.

“You got a problem?” Westly asked.

“Nope.”

He moved forward a step. “Then why are you staring?”

“I wasn’t.”

“Sure you weren’t.”

I stood up. “I’m just trying to watch the game.”

The guy in the middle smirked. “Pretty sure this isn’t really your crowd.”

“Pretty sure I didn’t ask.”

The other laughed. “Damn. Emo kid’s got an attitude.”

Westly stood. “You think you’re funny?”

I shrugged. “Not really.”

“Because you’re not,” he continued.

“Okay. Enjoy the game.” I could feel their stares on my back as I headed for the parking lot. I was halfway to my car when I heard footsteps behind me.

“Hey!”

I kept walking, but the steps sped up.

“Hey, freak. I’m talking to you.”

I turned around. Westly stood a few feet away, his friends fanned out behind him.

“You get pissed off easily, don’t you?” He laughed.

“Nope.”

“Could’ve fooled me.”

I turned back toward my car. “Whatever.”

“Yeah. That’s what I thought,” Westly taunted.

I kept walking toward my Elantra. I was almost there when he spoke again.

“Why are you even here?”

I spun around again, unable to just let things go. “To watch the game.”

“That’s a lie.”

I rolled my eyes. “Believe whatever you want.”

He gave me a once-over, taking in my black hoodie, the nail polish on my fingers, and the eyeliner I was wearing. “Man, you look like you crawled out of a funeral.”
