I swallow past the pounding of my heart and get the hell off campus.
I wish I never came.
ChapterOne
Tyler
A few days later…
I follow the same dude I’ve thought about nonstop.
And no, not the sexy kind of thinking.
Like the I wanna hurt this guy and the sooner the fucking better.
He slips inside a classroom. I know I shouldn’t go in but giving a fuck? Definitely not my specialty.
The professor is already yapping when I slide in, trying to remain unnoticed. He glances at me and rolls his eyes, his mouth still flapping away.
I grab an empty seat in the back and pretend to listen.
Instead, I’m too busy staring at the guy who wants my girl.
Being all friendly and shit, hoping he can shoot his shot. Fuck no. There is no shot with Chloe.
She’s still mine.
A part of me feels fucking crazy.
I’m pretending to be a student and chasing down every guy who looks in Lo’s direction. Okay, maybe not every guy. But still. How pathetic am I?
Time drags as the professor’s lecture drones on and on. The classroom is stuffy with the windows closed. It reminds me of being back in high school.
I really thought college would be different. Better rooms, seats, tables. But no, it's just like high school all over again with a bit of an upgrade.
Why bother?
The guy I haven’t taken my eyes off raises his hand. Oh, a star student, how fucking nice. Of course he is.
“Mason?” the professor calls.
He answers the question, but I’m too busy focusing on his name. Mason. All right, at least I got a little bit of info.
Should I let Mason know just who he’s messing with? Or will that only piss Chloe off even more?
I debate the answer, my anger growing as the class goes on and on. When people start leaving, I realize the class is over.
I’m saying something to this bozo. Fuck this.
But when I look up, he’s already walking out the door.
Shit.
Mason, I will find you. And give you just one warning to back off my girl,I think as I walk out the door.
Every part of me screams to find Chloe, but I can’t right now. If she finds out I’m sneaking in classes, she’ll flip.
I should get out of here before she sees me on campus. That definitely wouldn’t go over well, and I’m not about to find out.
