anything. As if it could
solve my problems.”
“Maybe it could, if you’d accept it.”
That’s it. I’m done.
I slam my hand on the table, the impact stinging my fingers. It
makes her spring up from her seat. I glare at her, my teeth clenched together
as I try not to shout. She’s really getting on my nerves now.
“Nothing, nothing , can help me,” I growl.
She. Can’t. Help. Me. Not with this. No one can.
The least she can do is shut up about it.
But when I see her face, I feel bad. Really bad. Her smile is gone.
Her eyes are watery.
Shit. I don’t want her to cry because of me.
“Fine. Whatever. I’m just trying to help. You don’t have to take
it,” she snaps.
Oh, c’mon. Is she serious?
I try to relax, breathing out heavily as I turn my head and gaze at
something else for a second. I can’t look at her right now. Part of me wants to
yell and scream at her, another part wants to pull her in for a hug. Neither is
appropriate.
My mind drifts off to yesterday and how she offered me some water,
even though I’ve been treating her like crap since I met her. I feel guilty,
and I realize I’ve been such a jerk to her that I want to make it up.
“Look … I’m sorry,” I say, trying not to be overly loud.
I don’t want to make a big deal out of this. It’s not. I just don’t
like talking about my weak moments. Especially not when they have everything to
do with my brother and a secret gang.
“I just had a rough night, and I’m kind of pissed about it, okay?” I
say.
Pissed being the understatement of the year. I’m fucking furious
because of what the gang did to my brother, but at the same time I know they’re
the only way I have to get my brother out quickly. I hate that I’ll have to
depend on them. Just the thought of having to join them is making me sick, but
this is my only choice.
I’ve been taking out all these thoughts on Leafy, and that’s not
fair to her.
I look up at her, and she smiles briefly. I’m glad she’s not angry
at me. I don’t like to see her hurt.
“I understand,” she says.
She understands. Okay. So I can assume everything is all right now?
I just want to forget anything ever happened, really.
I nod, and say, “Okay.” Hoping we can just let things pass, I
concentrate on the class instead. It’s about time I did.
After our class ends, I find Jaret waiting at the designated spot, right
outside the dorm.
“You’re in, bud. I told them what you told me: that you don’t care
about your brother and that you can do much more for them.”
“Good,” I say. I’m not happy. I despise the gang, but I keep
reminding myself I’m in it for my brother.
“Wes is the one who’s going to give you the goods. He’ll be your
distributor.”
“Oh, really? The guy with the tats I met the first time?”
“Yep. That one. I knew he’d seen you already, so this was the
easiest way in.”
“Cool. So what now? Do I have to start dealing? And when do I meet
the rest of them?”
“He doesn’t want to introduce you to the rest of the gang just yet.
They’re gonna test you first.”
“Okay, whatever,” I say, frowning. I wonder what that means.
“You’ll have to do a drug exchange. That’s the first assignment.
He’ll be watching you.”
“There’s more?”
Jaret looks down at the ground. “They want you to do a fight, too.”
My eyes widen. “What?”
“Not the arena. I mean, they want you to beat up someone.”
“Seriously?” I hate to admit it, but I don’t like beating up random guys.
Unless they deserve it, I don’t like hurting innocent people.
“I’ll let you know who tomorrow. I don’t know the specifics yet.”
“Okay.”
“But there’s one thing that Wes specifically stated you have to do
before you fight.”
“What does he want me to do?” I say, getting anxious.
“It’s a rule we have here in Alpha Psi that you have to know what
you’re selling. So before you go into the fight, they want you to take
solve my problems.”
“Maybe it could, if you’d accept it.”
That’s it. I’m done.
I slam my hand on the table, the impact stinging my fingers. It
makes her spring up from her seat. I glare at her, my teeth clenched together
as I try not to shout. She’s really getting on my nerves now.
“Nothing, nothing , can help me,” I growl.
She. Can’t. Help. Me. Not with this. No one can.
The least she can do is shut up about it.
But when I see her face, I feel bad. Really bad. Her smile is gone.
Her eyes are watery.
Shit. I don’t want her to cry because of me.
