Sophie squeezed her eyes shut Clenched theood then her ability Which was gauged as a level four Her eyes snapped open and realhtened, his lanky build unfolding itself to standing He shrugged "I don’t knohat to tell you Thirty-eight seconds That’s two seconds , defeated

One of the other AP girls set over your fear," she sneered and Proctor looked over at her

"That’s very unhelpful Madison Considering you’ve been in realm what, twice?" he placed his hands on his skinny hips and stared at her until her eyes dropped

He turned away to the white board and Madison gave Sophie a look like, wihest level in the class besides Amanda so that lame bitch could just bite her in the ass

Dead center

And she wore stupid clothes too, fashion challenged Sophie grinned back at her and Madison’s smile faded Girls were bitches

She was exempt, of course

The bell shrilled and Sophie walked to the door to meet Buddy There he was, lookin’ so damn fine it made Sophie’s breath catch in her throat Sophie eyes took him in head to toe and couldn’t find the flaws Six-foot one of gorgeous Latino hunk Blazing eyes, nearly black in a face a dusky olive color, the muscles that showed keenly striated from workouts

He wasn’t all for show either, he’d even given Caleb a run for his martial arts money And held his own

He was al of jerk-alert, Sophie walked up to Buddy just as Jonesy sauntered by, his eyes narrowing on she and Buddy

Sophie s lean She pressed her lips to his, he snapped his arms around her and pressed back

With heat

Jonesy walked by the AP class after prolihes

Damn, if that didn’t just rustle his Ji back, so pissed he could hardly breathe He didn’t knohy she got under his skin so bad

She was sandpaper on a wound

CHAPTER 15

I stared in disbelief at the auto-pulse that we’d all received in our readers John and I looked at each other, then bent over the coh, Adht affirmation required-

Freshman will assemble after their lunch hour for their depressant inoculation, followed by each subsequent lunch block until the last with our graduating seniors

For those that are ill or have an excused absence, you will be reassigned to receive your sanctioned inoculation by the school nurse within seven days as of today

Booster inoculations will be given annually

Chen, Claudia, KPH acting principal

We all thumbed our readers:

In receipt- auto response

John shook his head, pushing his fro away froain "I don’t like this It leaves you guys unprotected"

Alex held up his pulse-reader "Don’t have to," his huge hand dwarfing the thing

Daet a pass?"

"Parents are freaks about sanctioned crap, right?" Tiff asked, a bubble bursting Jade juhed

He nodded "Yeah, I have a Philosophical Exeer at Alex "Thatthis shit and we’re not gonna dance’?’"

Alex nodded

John shook his head "Obviously, they didn’t actually say that"

"Well no, Terran But Jonesy got the

Tiff rolled her eyes "My parents wouldn’t look at this crap if soetting the depressant?" I asked, not being able to believe having parents that didn’t get in to all the shit personally

She shrugged "They’re busy They got all us kids and a ton of work to just live Me getting a depressant inoculation so I don’t have a ’death vibe’ or soht won’tat the edge of a table in the coe

I looked at Alex "So, if you did get the stick, ould happen?"

He shrugged "I’d be weak again, I guess"

"That’d suck, Si

"What about you? Do you care, Jonesy?" I asked

"Nah, I can’t screw around with the lights And," he waggled his eyebrows, "it was kinda funbaby noise and Tiff’s brows fell like a brick over her eyes

"Ya ass hat! Your et up to take care of the baby?" She crossed her ar "Ya knoish I had just a little more AFTD! I’d resurrect an ant hill and have thehed, Jonesy scowled and Alex said, "And you guys call irl walked by, tinier even than Jade She heard his last co to see, a six-four, irl walked by and noticed his words

"Perv-boy?" she arched a perfect eyebrow

Cripes

Alex shifted his weight as Mia walked up, saw the girl and said, "Hey Randi"

She turned to Mia "Hi"

The girls suy a perv-boy?" with a perfectly straight face

Without skipping a beat, Mia said, "Yeah I think"

"Huh," she said, eying him up "Too bad, you were kinda cute"

Jonesy’s irl charged on her like flies to ave Christi a run for her money Different lookin’, smaller but just as hot

Maybe she didn’t have the troll attitude That killed all beauty in my eyes

Alex looked at Mia and said, "Nice, Mia You could have totally saved that for me"

"No," she shook her hair and the honeyed strands slipped all over her shoulders "It was too precious for words Besides, you sit there and talk about asses, blow up dolls " she looked at him

The rest of us did too

"Hey," he backed away, "I haven’t said anything perverted in a long time!"

Jonesy said, "Yeah, a whole week Great restraint, Alex"
