Chapter 63

Harper

It's school official. Easton and I are together and everyone knows it.That's because from the moment he met me at my locker this morning,his arm has been planted around my shoulders. It doesn't matter wherewe are in the building, he can't stop touching me. When we walk downthe hall to class, he's right next to me. When we go to lunch, he joinsthe table I share with Sadie. He even has Ryan and a few of their otherfriends come sit with us, everyone in the cafeteria glancing in ourdirection as we share a slice of pizza.

We're inseparable.

And there isn't a single person in this school who hasn't seen my smiletoday.

I can't hide it. It's impossible to mask the way he makes me feel andthere's no reason to

-we're out of hiding.

I want the whole world to know I'm Easton's girl.

At this point, I'm positive everyone has witnessed it ... except for Blake.When I whispered about him to Sadie this morning, she told me henever showed up for school. So weird. I don’t dare ask Ryan or Eastonabout him, Ryan would probably want to murder me-again-and Eastonwould chew my face off for even thinking the question.

What I do know is Blake's absence has put Easton in the best mood andmy reputation has shifted overnight.

I'm no longer Ryan's invisible twin sister.

I'm dating the most popular guy at school.

And nothing could change this from being the best day ever.

Not even running into Aisha.

She's been staring me down since she saw me with Easton this morningat my locker, before first period even started. I've been trying not to lether dirty looks eat at me and gloat over my win and her loss.

But as I leave my fifth period class to run to the bathroom, she’s in thehallway.

Like she’s been waiting for me.

“My, my,” she sings, a chorus as evil sounding as her. “Don't I lovecoincidences.”

I don't believe this is one. I'm positive she’s been scouting mywhereabouts, figuring out how to catch me alone.

That's what she does-she hunts, she attacks, she destroys.

I don't care what anyone says, she's responsible for all three spraypainting incidents and I'm sure she faked being out of town onInstagram just to appear innocent.

As far as I'm concerned, Aisha is guilty, and she’s not going to stop untilshe gets Easton.

Except this isn't a contest.

He's mine.

“I'm surprised you're not shoving your hand down your pants andtelling me that Easton has turned into a ghost and he's eating you outin this hallway.” I eye her down, the same way she’s doing to me. “Thatwas one desperate move and the fact that you were fingering your ownpussy “ I laugh even though I'm trembling on the inside. “That justmakes you pathetic.”

“Is that really what you believe?” She takes a step closer, shaking herhead. “Why am I not surprised he lied to you about what reallyhappened that night. My God, he'll do anything to seem like a saint toyou, but deep down, you have to know he’s lying.” Her voice is turningsly, like the snake that she is. “Easton's dick has been in almost everypussy at this school, including mine. Don't believe me?” She smiles,closing her eyes as she lets out a long exhale. “He has a scar in theshape of a half-moon that's a couple inches above and to the right ofhis dick. Hair doesn’t grow there, it's just a thick, white line.”

My heart starts beating so hard, I feel nauseous.

She's right.

I first noticed the scar when I was giving him head at his house. I keepmeaning to ask him about it and I keep forgetting.

Regardless, she's just trying to get under my skin. I know he’s slept withAisha and lots of other girls at this school.

But that's all in the past.

He's with me now.

I shrug, letting her know it doesn't bother me. “You're not telling meanything I don't already know. Try harder, Aisha. You're starting to getweak.”

She laughs so hard, she almost snorts. “It's sad that you think that, thathe's brainwashed you to the point where you believe I'm the one who'slying.” She glares at me like I'm gum stuck to the bottom of her shoe.“It's obvious you're new to this relationship thing. You're so gullible,you'll believe anything he says, and then you'll swallow his cum like therobot he’s turned you into.” Her lip curls. “These are warnings, Harper.I'm trying to save you.” Her hands move to her hips. “But not even thesound of Easton licking my pussy will make you realize he doesn't givea shit about you, that he's dying to take your virginity and dump youlike he does with every other girl.”

How does she know I was a virgin?

Was it a guess? Or did Easton tell someone and that someone toldAisha?

Or worse .. did Easton tell Aisha?

I take a step back. “You're wrong .."

Her arms move to her chest, crossing them over her breasts. “Next timehis tongue is on my pussy, which will be very soon, I'll make sure to textyou a pic. Nothing like a little proof with your morning coffee, right?”She leans into a locker, looking more relaxed than I like. “But I won't bethe only girl he’s touching, there will be others over the next few weeks,and I promise one will corner you in the bathroom or in the hallway orthe parking lot after school and she'll start shit with you because shethinks she’s Easton's girl too.” She grins. “Except she won't be as nice asme. She'll beat your ass.”

I know what she’s doing .. and it's working.

Every bone in my body hurts, every worry I had before is resurfacing.

I can't listen to this anymore.

I take a step back but keep my eyes on her, making sure the Eastonsmile is plastered across my lips. “When are you going to accept thatEaston doesn't want you? He thinks you're disgusting and so doeseveryone else at this school. Why don't you go bully some single guyinto dating you. Someone you actually have a chance with instead ofmaking yourself look like a pathetic fool. Jealousy is really a terriblelook on you.”

I turn my back toward her, not giving her another second of myattention. But after a few steps, I hear her. Heels clicking on the floor,like she’s running. And then I feel a hand wrap around my hair and pullso hard, my neck snaps back from the momentum.

“You fucking cunt,” she roars in my ear. “That'll be the last thing youever say to me."

She tugs harder and a pain shoots down my back. I gasp, searching forwords, clawing at the air to sink my fingers into any part of her.

But before my nails land, I hear a familiar voice growl, “Let her go,Aisha. Right fucking

now."
