Rowena~~~~~~ I keep my eyes on the book, but every sound from that corner crawls under my skin. Every laugh, every whisper, every “oh really?” in her sweet, breathy voice makes my throat tighten. “You’re Adrian, right?” she asks, like she doesn’t already know. Like she didn’t walk over here just to toss that question with her syrupy smile and perfect skin. Her voice is soft, flirtatious, laced with fake curiosity. Adrian chuckles. Chuckles. “Yeah. And you’re…?” “Sierra,” she says, almost singing it. “I’ve seen you around. Didn’t know you were the bookish type.” “I’m not,” Adrian replies, closing his book halfway. “Just doing time.” I swear, I roll my eyes so hard I nearly strain something. Sierra laughs again, way too loud for a joke that weak. “Well, if this is how detention goes, I might start getting into trouble more often.” “Be careful,” Adrian says with a grin. “Might run into worse company than me.” “Oh, I highly doubt that,” she purrs, flipping her hair.
