บททั้งหมดของ I Bet You Can't: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

My grip on the steering wheel tightens as my mind goes back to Alex’s phone and his social media.  How dare they do this and tag him on it, too.  They are crazy.  This has nothing to do with him. They conveniently left me off even though the post is about me. As my blood continues to boil, Alex reaches over and gently caresses my thigh.  “Hey.  Stop thinking about this.  I don’t like it either, but there isn’t a lot that I can do about it right now.”I raise an eyebrow and grunt.  “I find that hard to believe.  However, these idiots are targeting me and the engineering department.  I will not stand for it.  Those accusations put not only me in a poor light, but the entire engineering department too.”A low growl fills the car as my knuckles almost turn white while I tighten my grip again around the steering wheel. Do they even know that the

I bite my lip, trying to hold back another a chuckle, as David stomps down the sidewalk next to me.  He finally has figured out what Max was referring to last night, but he is still mad that I didn’t tell him sooner.  It is more like pouting, though. How could such a fierce, tough guy pout for so long? Chance and Paul step in line with us as we head towards the medical buildings.  The silence doesn’t last long as Chance nudges my arm.  “Hey, Alex.  I see those social media posts that had you were tagged in have all disappeared.  Did you have your people do that, or did the people realize who they were messing with and take the posts down on their own?”I quickly glance to my side as the muscle along David’s jaw twitches. I turn back to my friend and flash him a mischievous smile.  “It was bothering David too much, so I had my people take it down.”  I lean t

With my arm wrapped around Alex’s waist, we quietly walk along the sidewalk towards the medical buildings.  As students hustle past, I lean over, kiss his cheek, and softly ask, “Have you calmed down yet?”It has been a few days since Tiffany had insulted him and he is still fuming.  Luckily, Brandon and his father were able to quickly defuse the situation, and we could talk about what I should expect going forward.  I also made it clear I only have one person in my heart, and it is Alex.  I don’t have room for anyone else. She didn’t want to accept it, but she finally did. When she found out exactly who Alex is, it is then our turn to throw insulting remarks.  The only thing helping her is Alex’s grandparents really didn’t let anyone take pictures of him as he was growing up.  People know the name, but they don’t have a face to go with it.  He also uses an alias at th

I can’t stop smiling.  As soon as he says yes, I look across the table at Brandon and wink.  Even if we have nothing in the area, we will find a friend with something so we can go. When Kai blurts out the location of the town, I immediately pull up a map on my phone and start searching.  My smile falters a bit when I realize I have nothing remotely close to that area. However, when I glance across the table at Brandon, my smile immediately bounces back as his eyes sparkle, and he nods. Yes!  We have a hotel close by. I immediately start researching the area.  I barely notice the food when it arrives or the conversation.  The clatter from others in the restaurant fades to a soft buzz in the back of my mind.  I have a mission and I need information. As I continue to scroll through the internet, a fork loaded with food appears in front of me.  Without thinking, I open

I glance back across the Hotel’s parking lot.  A few additional vehicles have followed us here, but Alex keeps telling me to not worry.  He says it is his people with additional supplies for the meals, but something in my gut says there is something more to it.  Not to mention, he constantly kept looking at his phone the whole way here.  However, I can’t worry about it right now.I grab a couple of bags from the storage compartment under the bus and put them on the ground before I turn back to get more. Max, after helping with a few bags, backs off to the side and claps his hands together.  He then clears his throat and announces, “Everyone needs to check in with the hazing team.  They have set up a table right next to the reception desk.  We have assigned two people to each room.  If there is a problem with your assigned roommate, please let us know right away.”As soon as he finishes, someon
