Untouched (Bay Falls High, #1)(73)
“What?” Gi asked.
“Devin,” I said. “That fucking moron.”
“Why?” Iris asked.
“When we broke up, he told everyone I refused to do anything. Call it backwards or whatever, but where I’m from, you’re looked down on for being prude. Like if you’ve hooked up with a bunch of guys…”
“It’s cool,” Gi said. “Being a whore is a rite of passage.”
“There’s a tattoo for you,” Iris said with a laugh.
“Better suited for you,” Gi said to Iris with a wink.
Iris showed both her middle fingers and gave a fake laugh.
“The point is,” I said, “Devin spread it around that I wasn’t willing to do anything with him. Which wasn’t true. We were together and broken up like three or four times… and each time we got back together…”
“Oh, you got back together,” Gi said slowly lifting her arms dancing to no music.
“Right,” I said. “So something must have spilled from there to here. I don’t get how though.”
“Don’t underestimate the Rulz,” Gi said. “I mean it. You never know what they’re up to. What they know. How they know it. Or what they’ll do.”
“Makes me wonder if I should just tell them,” I said. “Honestly. At first, I was so pissed… so fucking pissed. But I knew something was up, right? I knew there had to be a reason for what they were doing. I found the reason. Why not just expose it. Laugh in their face?”
“I don’t know, Ti,” Gi said.
“Screw that,” Iris said. She hurried back to the pool and towered over me. She blocked the sun and looked down at me. “I will drown you in this pool if you do that.”
“Oh? Love me that much?”
“You tell them that… or laugh at them over it… they’ll destroy you. I’m saying that as a friend. Okay?”
“Iris is right,” Gi said. “I mean, if you wanted to tell them, you probably can. But not in a bitchy way.”
I swallowed hard.
I guess I forgot about their power for a second there.
My memory reminded me of what Barr did. Just for a kiss. Or the fact that they always seemed to appear at the worst possible times.
“You should just ride it out,” Iris said. “And I’m saying that as a bitch who doesn’t care if you get hurt.”
“Ride it out,” Gi said. She laughed. “I’m sure there will be a lot of riding…”
“I’m not riding anything or anyone,” I said. “Ever.”
“Never ever, girl?”
I gasped and turned.
Speaking of worst possible times…
The Rulz were here.
