Cole wasn’t lying.

He really does love to see me succeed.

“Look who’s here,” Sonia says.

Shaw comes through the double doors, a stunning blonde on his arm. The girl

looks pleased and excited, clinging to Shaw’s bicep.

Shaw bears no smile at all, sullen and abrupt as people try to greet him.

He locks eyes with me from across the room.

I feel Cole stiffen, drawing me even closer to him.

“He looks pissed,” I mutter to Cole.

“I told you, he’s salty about Corona Heights.”

Shaw stares at me, ignoring the girl at his side. Every second that passes, I

can feel Cole getting more agitated, as if he’d like to sprint across the room

and put out Shaw’s eyes.

When Shaw finally turns away, distracted by Betsy Voss, Cole says, “If he

comes within ten feet of you, I’m going to tear out his throat.”

“He’s not gonna do anything here. You said so yourself.”

“I don’t want him here at all,” Cole hisses. “I don’t even want him looking at

you.”

I can still feel a pair of eyes fixed on me. Not Shaw’s—it’s Gemma Zhang,

glancing between Shaw, Cole, and myself. She watched the entire exchange.

As brief and uneventful as it was, she seems to have found interest in it, as

she’s now smiling slightly.

“I’ve got to pee,” I say to Cole.

I head back to the bathrooms, where I hear the distinctive sniff of someone

taking a pick-me-up in the adjoining stall, and the crackle of a tampon

wrapper from the other side.
