ToxicCharm:EXCUSE ME???
ToxicCharm:You met someone????
ToxicCharm:Holy shit.
ToxicCharm:I’m jealous.
The boys on the base where Keegan and her mother were currently stationed were lacking for better words.
Me:There’s no reason to be. Nothing happened.
ToxicCharm:But you WANT something to.
It wasn’t a question. She knew me too well.
ToxicCharm:Tell me everything.
I hesitated, fingers hovering over the keys, trying to figure out how to explain Maddox Corvo in a way that made sense.
Me:There’s not much to tell. I mean, we only just met.
ToxicCharm:Which means there’s plenty of time to get him to notice you.
Me:Oh, I don’t think he’s forgetting me. I might have pulled a self-defense move on him today and dropped him to the ground.
ToxicCharm:You what?
Me:Okay, in my defense, I thought he was stalking me.
Looking back now, had I misread the situation? Had I hurt his ego?
ToxicCharm:You didn’t.
I cringed at my screen, nipping on my nails.
Me:I definitely did.
ToxicCharm:You can still come back from this. When do you start school?
A knot formed in my stomach at the familiar first-day jitters. You’d think by now I would be immune. I wasn’t.
Me:Ugh. Tomorrow.
ToxicCharm:Perfect. Just find a way to casually bump into him. Every. Day. And try not to toss him again unless he asks for it.
I snorted, the sound absorbed by my room’s walls as my memory recalled the moment I took Maddox to the ground.Smart move, Mal. Real classy.
Me:Oh, no sweat, except I have no idea where anything is, let alone where he’ll be. And he has a twin brother.
ToxicCharm:Two for one?
I chuckled.
Me:The other is too pretty.
ToxicCharm:I’ll take him.
ToxicCharm:My best advice. Make him jealous.
