“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” I snarl, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand. The taste of Aria’s cheap lip gloss makes me want to vomit. I shove her away hard enough that she stumbles back, hitting the ground with a satisfying thud. “Whore!”

Her eyes widen, fear flickering across her face. Good. She should be afraid. I’m only accompanying her because I pissed my father last night but she went ahead and kiss me.

The other students are starting to notice the commotion and I’ll be damned seeing her almost crying. Shit. She fucking deserves it. Where the hell is Jess

anyway?

“Get up,” I hiss. “You’re embarrassing yourself.”

My phone buzzes. Logan. Finally. I glance at the screen, annoyed at the interruption but relieved I can ditch this pathetic scene. The urge to kick Aria while she’s down is almost overwhelming, but I resist. Too many witnesses.

“Clean yourself up,” I mutter, turning away. “And if you ever touch me again, I’ll make sure everyone in this school knows exactly what kind of girl you really are.”

I storm away from Aria, my blood boiling under my skin. Stupid bitch. My phone buzzes with Logan’s message, and something in me tightens with anticipation. Jess crying? This day might not be a total waste after all.

Behind the building, I spot them immediately. Logan leaning against the wall, looking bored, while Jess sits on the ground, knees pulled to her chest, mascara running down her cheeks. Beautiful.

“Took you long enough,” Logan mutters,

Tignore him, focusing on Jess. “Why are you crying?” I ask, though I couldn’t care less about the answer. What I care about is the delicious sight of her

tears.

Jess looks up, and something in me freezes. The hell? Her hair- I almost don’t recognize her. Blonde. She dyed her fucking hair blonde.

“What the fuck did you do to yourself?” The words leave my mouth before I can stop them.

She stands up, wiping her face, suddenly defiant. This isn’t the reaction I wanted. She’s supposed to be broken, begging for me to take her back.

“Get away from me,” she says, her voice stronger than it should be. She stands, tugging at the hem of a skirt that barely covers anything.

“What is this?” I gesture at her transformation, disgust and fascination warring inside me. “Some kind of post–breakup meltdown?”

Logan leans against the wall, watching us with that stupid smirk. “Told you she went crazy.”

“Not crazy,” Jess says, lifting her chin. “Free.”

Something dark twists in my gut. Free? From me? The audacity makes my fingers itch to close around her throat.
