“He’ll tell you to move,” I say as nicely as possible. It’s a fair warning.

She laughs and flings her blond hair over her shoulder. “Caden lets me do what I want. He’s not bossy with me. Is he that way with you? Maybe you’re doing it wrong.”

Her look is innocent, but it makes me want to claw her eyes out.

I shrug. “Your problem.”

She smiles like she’s won, but I know Caden won’t let that stand. Until then, it’s uncomfortable being between two enemies. I mean, Angela isn’t like Tanner, but she’s still against me dating the horsemen.

“So, what have you guys been working on?” Angela smiles and flashes her cleavage, hopefully at Tanner and not me. Though I get an eyeful too. She’s wearing a low-cut tank top and pajama pants, rolled down a couple times to ride low on her hips.

I lean back out of her way, because it’s obvious she wants Tanner’s attention.

He looks her over with interest. “You got a date to Homecoming?”

Her cheeks flush, but I can’t tell if it’s embarrassment or anger. “Not yet. Corey was supposed to take me, but he backed out.”

She pouts and leans a little more into my space. Her boob brushes my arm, and I barely stop from flinching away or shoving her back. Instead, I roll my eyes.

“I have this dress that’s perfect.” She sighs and traces a finger along her neckline. “It’s cut low here and shows off my back too. It’s one of those really silky numbers that you can’t really wear panties with.”

Oh my god, is he buying any of this? I mean, he’s a teenage boy, so of course he is.

“I could take you.” He smirks, practically drooling over her cleavage.

Apparently she didn’t hear Kenz call him a rapist or she just doesn’t care. Maybe his videos are of willing participants, just taken without their knowledge. I’m going to have to ask Jack.

“Would you?” She acts surprised and clasps her hands together, deepening her cleavage. “That would be amazing. I wasn’t sure you would go because of everything that happened last year.”

“Things are changing for the better.” Tanner’s chuckle is dark and his cold blue eyes lock on mine. “I wouldn’t miss it.”

Yeah, I’m not touching that with a ten-foot pole. I’m all for the plan to bring them down before we get to Homecoming. Maybe if we push on the drug angle. Though it didn’t seem to affect Tanner all that much.

I pull out my sketch pad and work on the drawing while the two of them continue to flirt and trade numbers. I hope they end up together. Maybe Angela is the one who will make him happy, or maybe they’ll scheme together to try to break us up.

“Move.”

Caden’s voice makes me lift my head, and all the anxiety that had been swelling since Tanner sat beside me dies down from a roar to a low hum.

Angela giggles. “Caden, I’m already sitting here.”

He shakes his head and lifts the chair with her in it. She shrieks, but he sets her on the other side of the table before grabbing a chair and setting it next to me.

Ms. Sullivan watches with an indulgent smile like he’s a little boy misbehaving. I really don’t understand the adults in this school.

Caden hooks his foot on my chair leg and drags me away from Tanner and closer to him. He slides his hand possessively on the back of my chair, and a little shiver rushes through me as he brushes my back.

“Why are you here?” His question is directed at Angela.

She swallows but forces a smile and bats her eyes. “Nico isn’t here, so I asked Ms. Sullivan if you could help me.”

“Why would I do that?” Caden slouches in his chair and slides his fingers up and down my neck. Little tingles chase after his touch, cascading throughout me.

“You and I always have a good time together.” She leans forward so he can view her cleavage, but he never takes his gaze from her eyes.

“You also know Harper is my girlfriend. So again, I’ll ask you, and I want a straight answer this time.” He leans on the desk and narrows his eyes on her. “Why would I help you?”

Her mouth opens and closes, and she withdraws a little. I’m sure she’s just rallying for the next attack.
