my English book in my bag. I had to get out of there. Between Kade, Kelton, and the incident with Tammy, I needed to hide for the rest of the day.
Kelton stood in front of me, looking down from his six-foot height. “My brother was right. You’re freaking gorgeous.” His lips curled on one side of his mouth.
I rose. “You got a problem with that, jerk face?” Kade thought I was hot ?
Becca giggled.
Kelton leaned in, his lips at my ear. “I don’t, Sexy. But if my brother didn’t have eyes on you, I would make a play for you in a heartbeat.”
I shivered. His brother had eyes on me? Why didn’t I believe him? After what I’d done to Kade I wasn’t certain of his intentions.
I pushed him. “Get away from me. Are you, like, an animal or something?”
“I would like girls to think so,” he rasped. Christ ! His deep, smooth voice sounded just like Kade’s.
“Hey, man. What brings you back to school?” Tyler asked, dodging a couple of desks to stand next to me, resting his hand on my lower back.
My muscles tensed. What was he doing with his hand on me? I wasn’t his possession.
“Tyler. What’s shaking?” Kelton wagged his finger between Tyler and me. “You two going out or something?”
“What? Why would you ask that?” I asked. Was it because Tyler had his hand on me?
The remaining spectators, Grace and Becca, pinned their gazes on me, Grace’s being especially forceful. Her eyes were burning a hole through me. I didn’t know if it was because she’d heard about my run-in with one of her squad-mates, or if she was jealous of Tyler hanging out with me.
“He’s being all protective of you, Lacey. My brother isn’t going to like that,” Kelton announced.
“And why is that?” Tyler asked, a scowl forming on his face.
“Kade doesn’t share his women, dude.”
What the …“I’m sorry. I’m not an animal like you, Kelton. I don’t belong to anyone. I don’t even know your brother.” Although I would like to .
“That’s not what I hear,” Kelton said.
Grace’s face twisted into all kinds of pain as she glared at me, muttering my name and Tammy’s under her breath.
Was she implying Tammy and Kade? Of course he would have a girlfriend. Why wouldn’t a gorgeous guy like Kade not have one? Maybe that was the reason she had lashed out at me earlier.
The room had become deadly quiet.
“What did you say?” I asked Grace.
She glowered.
“Don’t you have somewhere to be, like soothing Tammy’s wounds?” I slung my backpack over my shoulder.
She narrowed her eyes at me. “Watch it, Robinson,” she all but growled, which was a new sound coming from of her. “The Tammy incident isn’t over. But then again, I’m sure you knew that. You started a war.”
“Grace,” Tyler warned.
I stepped closer to her. “As I told your Barbie robot, I don’t take kindly to threats.”
Grace walked backwards, never taking her eyes off me. I waved, wondering what other drama was in store for me. I’d only been at this school for a week, and already I’d managed to bully a badass dude and one of the cheerleaders.
Chapter 5
O n our way to chemistry the next period, Becca had explained that Kelton was one of a set of triplets. While Kody certainly looked like Kelton with blue eyes, the same black hair and strong features, he had a quieter personality. We talked about the assignments he’d missed. Class was quiet, thank God. Kelton was paired up with Grace, of all people. Her face lit up when Ms. Clare switched out her lab partner. When Kelton sat down, Grace sent me one of those ha-ha looks that said I got him and you didn’t . Little did she know I didn’t want anything to do with the guy.
I was content with Tyler as a lab partner until the teacher switched him out and told me to sit with Kelton’s brother Kody. Tyler frowned. He got stuck with a nerdy girl who glowed ten shades of red when the hot quarterback sat down next to her. I laughed as I watched the exchange. She
