The Naughty List (The Naughty List #1)(67)

“So,” Kira said, slapping my hip with her pom-pom. “What was up with the make-out session? You two still broken up and shit?”

“Kira. Language.”

She beamed. “Welcome back, Tess. The Smitten Kittens have missed the snot out of you.” Clever girl. She’d been testing me.

I wrapped my pom-pomed hands around her and gave her a hug. She was a great friend and—for the rest of the season—captain. Even though the season ended tonight.

“All right,” I announced as I pulled back. “Let’s win this game with our school spirit.”

She jumped up and down. The rest of the girls keyed into our enthusiasm, and the squad was in full effect. Even Leona was smiling.

Twenty minutes and fifteen cheers later, the Wildcats lost by three points. It was disappointing, but I was pretty sure that Aiden and I were both still in good moods. As his coach shook his head on the sideline, Aiden kept looking over at me and waving. He was whipped cream, even if he didn’t belong to me anymore.

I’d take some time, reevaluate my goals. Maybe think up some new cheers. And then, who knew what would happen.

There would always be time for Aiden. After all, Kittens had nine lives.

SOS UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT

Dear Clients,

I’m happy to announce the reforming of SOS. Due to a change in leadership, services were temporarily put on hold. But now we’re back and totally badass.

If your boyfriend is acting suspicious, text a cheater request form to our new number at 555-1863 but be specific. For us to catch him in the act, we’ll need to know exactly who he’s doing.

Again, we’re psyched to help out the girls of Washington High in their quest for a decent boyfriend. We’re currently updating our Naughty List roster, so text with any important information.

There is now a fee schedule for our services, but for the grand reopening, we’ll offer a 50 percent discount to the first ten clients.

We’re back. And we’re going to kick cheating ass.
