in a husky voice. Natasha smirked as she opened her mag and Leanne laughed, enjoying her own joke.
Ariana brought her book down and glared not at Leanne, but at Noelle. Amazingly, Noelle blushed as well. Ariana could make Noelle blush. Good to know.
“ Sorry! ” Noelle said, rolling her eyes. “Hi, Reed ,” she said pointedly. Then she sat down and scoffed. “Touchy, touchy.” She slung her bag over her chair and rolled her eyes. “God, Leanne. Can you shut it?”
Leanne’s mouth snapped closed, silencing her laughter. She turned beet red under her makeup.
Ariana brought her book back up and continued to read. It was all I could do to keep the grin off my face. Kiran took a chair across the way and flipped open her Sidekick. Around her neck a large diamond pendant flashed in the sun, nearly blinding me as she settled in. She wore a tiny, soft-looking lemon-colored sweater, black skirt, and kitten heels, all of which screamed money. If she sold that outfit, she could probably buy my house with the proceeds. But then I supposed that having your bod on an NYC billboard paid a pretty penny.
Taylor—much more my speed in jeans and a preppy polo—shot me a curious look as she slid behind me and sat down to my right. She did, however, also have large diamond studs in her ears.
“Hi,” she said. “I’m Taylor.”
“She knows, ” Noelle said impatiently.
Taylor’s cheeks turned pink.
“I’m Reed,” I said, trying to make her feel better.
“She knows that, too. What are we all, retarded?” Noelle asked.
Natasha sighed and looked up from her magazine. “Noelle. I’d rather you not use that word. At least not around me.”
“Sorry, Princess PC. Did you want to slap my wrist?” Noelle said, offering her arm over Kiran’s Sidekick. Kiran clucked her tongue and leaned back so she could see.
“That’S won’t be necessary,” Natasha said with a smirk.
“Natasha considers herself the moral center of Easton,” Noelle told me.
“Well, it’s not like any of the rest of you are gunning for the job,” Natasha said with false sweetness.
Noelle stuck her finger in her mouth.
Alrighty, then.
“So, Reed, do you like it here so far?” Taylor asked.
“Yeah. Definitely,” I said.
“You’re from Pennsylvania, right?” she asked brightly. “Is it like your old school?”
I glanced at Noelle. Had she told the others where I was from?
“She already memorized all the textbooks in this place, so she’s moved on to yearbooks and new student rosters,” Noelle explained.
“Did you know that less that two percent of all Easton students and alumni were from Pennsylvania? Isn’t that weird?” Taylor asked. “I mean, considering it’s such a big state.”
I swallowed hard. Less than 2 percent, huh? So I was a huge novelty.
“What do you think of your teachers?” Taylor put in eagerly. “What classes are you taking? Do you have Corcoran for Trig?”
“I—“
“Taylor, you don’t need to give her the third degree,” Ariana said lightly.
Taylor’s face turned pink. “Sorry,” she said.
“She needs to know everything,” Noelle explained.
“As if she doesn’t already,” Natasha said under her breath.
Taylor ducked her head, hiding behind her curls, and my heart went out to her. Even though I was relieved to be out from under the microscope.
Just then, Dash dropped down across from me and cleared a curl away from his eyes with a flick of his head. Up close, I could see he was even handsomer than I had realized. With his square jaw, warm brown eyes, and perfect skin he looked like an Abercrombie ad come to life.
“Dash McCafferty,” he said by way of greeting. “You’re the girl with the sweet feet.”
Noelle glanced at me suspiciously.
“You should’ve seen the way this girl kicked the football the other day,” he said to Noelle. “She could give you a run for your money, babe.”
“Gee. Sorry I missed it,” Noelle said flatly.
