Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 455

After dinner, laughter still lingering in the air, Sabrina piped up, "How about we hit a bar? Drinks are on me!"

George shook his head. "Tracey doesn't drink, and her dorm's got a curfew. It's getting late-I should take her back to campus."

Sabrina waved them off with a grin. "Alright, you two go on ahead."

"Bye, George! Bye, Tracey!" Olivia called, waving as they got up.
