seeing beautiful girls fight.” “Oh, that’s lame.” She couldn’t possibly look any more disgusted. I kept smiling. “No, I mean it. You could crawl a mile through mud and still look picture perfect to me.” “Ugh—” “Abuse me, kick me, you’ll still shine like a radiant sun before me.” “Eh—?” “Your hair is like finely spun gold, truly that of a goddess amongst the stars.” “Huh—?” “Not to mention your three sizes are out of this world.” “What—?” “Ninety three, fifty five, eighty. Am I close?” She scowled as she leaned forward. “How the Hell do you know that?” “Don’t you know? You’re ranked number seventeen on the Girls of Island Three Billboard. Personally I’d rate you much higher than that. You’re definitely top ten material.” “What? I never heard of that!” I frowned dramatically. I could tell she was lying. “Really? How can that be? Every girl knows about the Billboards. There’s one for every Island of Pharos, and they’re categorized into two groups—high school girls and college girls.” I narrowed my eyes at her. “You really don’t know about the billboards? The authorities have been trying to shut them down for years.” Her gaze darted about, then she stepped up to me. She whispered angrily, “I never gave them my dimensions. How the Hell do you know them?” “Back in my old school I used to have friends in high places…or should I say low places?” At that moment I happened to look down. Oh my. Did I just see what I just saw? I studied intently what I could see on the ground. She raised a fist between us, blocking my view but I’d seen enough. “Even so,” she hissed, “you had no right blurting them out.” “But was I wrong or was I right?” “Wrong—it’s ninety five, fifty five, eighty!” My eyes widened in amazement. “Wow…they’re even bigger this year! I have to buy that calendar they put out. Will you autograph it for me?” She crossed her arms protectively over her chest. “You foul lecher. I’ll have you reported to the Student Council—” “Veronica’s Secret.” She blinked. “Huh?” “They’re from the summer range right? Even though there’s no summer here on Pharos since the colony is just a bunch of rocks, they still advertise them as the summer range.” I watched her face tinge with a pink hue. “Wh—what?” I searched my memory. “Part of the young adult line. What is it called again?” I snapped my fingers. “Celestial Girl! That’s it.” I saw the penny drop behind her eyes. Then she turned bright red. She stuttered and trembled. “How—how—how do you know—?” “The water on the floor. I saw them reflected in the puddle you’re standing on.” Her neck bent down so fast her golden hair billowed upwards like a fountain. Then she shrieked and stepped back. “How dare you!” I waved at her. “No need to praise me. It’s just a special talent I have. I really do approve. White suits you really well, though I believe black is more your color.” She screamed and slapped me so hard I actually flew sideways before hitting the ground. Damn she was strong for an Aventis. I slowly rolled onto my back, then aimed my gaze at her skirt. She slapped her hands down around her legs and pressed her thighs together. She scowled. “I’m reporting you to the Student Council. I’ll have you publicly reprimanded.” I raised a hand toward her. “Please,” I begged her. “One more peek. If it’s one more I’ll happily bear a public hanging.” I wasn’t prepared for what she did next. Even overclocking wouldn’t have saved me. The pain of her heel on my crotch bent me in half. I thought I would spout bile as she ground her shoe into my jewels. Why the Hell is she wearing high heels and not sensible shoes like every other girl in this school? Her skirt fluttered up, but even the sight of her high cut, white silk panties wasn’t
