“Sorry, I don’t get it. Who’s Troy Hawkins?”
Lacey whips her head toward him. “Babe.TheTroy Hawkins.”
I try hard not to roll my eyes. He’s not a freakin’ celebrity.
“Ohh! Hawk. I know him, he’s always in the gym. Pals with Jared and the Omega Phi guys.”
“His nickname is Hawk?” I ask.
Chloe waves a hand. “He’s, like… UMS royalty. All the guys want to be him, all the girls want to bang him.” She giggles.
“Ew,” I mutter.
“Troy Hawkins? God, he never stays with anyone longer than a weekend. My friend last year thought she was special—he called her'sunshine'and everything, until he ghosted her after three dates,” Chloe says, “But have you seen his face? Totally worth the heartbreak.”
“Is that all anyone cares about? His dating history?” I ask.
“Yep… I sort of know him,” Brianna chimes in, perking up. “Met him a couple of times. He’sripped.” She tilts her head, like she’s considering something. “Oh, and he’s best friends with Freddie Donovan.”
Carter raises his hand again.
“Carter, do you live under a rock?!” Lacey groans.
“I know who Freddie is,” Carter defends. “I just don’t get how Bri knows him.”
Brianna grins. “I fucked him. Best sex of my life.”
Carter makes a face. “Jesus Christ, Brianna.”
“What?” she says innocently. “I speak my truth.”
“Yeah, well, maybe don't speak it so much,” Carter mutters.
Chloe snorts. “Wait—does that mean Troy is, like, an in for you?”
Brianna taps a finger against her chin, thinking. “You know, that’s actually not the worst idea. Maybe if I sleep with his best friend, it’ll make him jealous.”
“That’s some psycho shit, Bri,” I say, reaching for a throw pillow to smack her with.
“Thank you,” she says proudly.
Carter groans. “You’re such a slut.”
Brianna gasps dramatically. “Carter! That was so misogynistic of you.”
“It’s only misogynistic if it’s not true,” Carter shoots back, raising a brow.
“That’s… not how misogyny works,” I mutter.
Brianna tilts her head. “And you’ve got a tiny cock. It’s not an insult if it’s accurate.”
Lacey drops her face into her hands. “Oh my god.”
Carter’s face goes bright red, making me wonder if there’s truth to it.
Brianna grins. “Anyway, if I’m such a slut, maybe Delilah should sleep with Troy instead. I’m pretty sure like 90% of campus has been with him, anyway.Thenyou can report back on howdelicioushis abs taste.”
“Absolutely not,” I say so fast, it makes Carter snort.
