You’re Mine by Penny Brooks

Chapter 51

Easton

I watch Blake, Harper, and Sadie walk down the hallway, his arm around my girl, looking at her like he wants to fuck her against a locker.

If I felt anger before, nothing compares to this.

I want to break Blake’s fucking nose. Shatter his teeth so he has to gum each word he tries to spew.

I swear, he’s coming onto Harper just to get under my skin.

It’s working.

Building in my chest.

Swelling every second I see them together and it’s constant. Third period, they’re strolling the hallway, his arm across her lower back. At lunch, they’re sharing chips like they’re in a Disney movie about to slurp the same piece of spaghetti. Fifth period, he’s leaning against the side of her locker, not even a tornado could break his gaze.

I can’t take it anymore.

I need to know if Harper feels the same way about him, but she won’t look at me. She won’t even glance in my direction.

I know she has history seventh period and Blake has English on a different floor-we’re in the same class-so I wait outside Harper’s classroom. When she arrives, I grab her arm and lead into the stairwell.

“I need to talk to you,” I say the moment we’re alone.

She pulls her hand away. “I have nothing to say to you.”

“What’s wrong?” I wait for her eyes to reach me. “Why won’t you look at me?”

“You make me sick.” The bell rings. “And now you‘ve made me late for class and you

probably just earned me detention.”

“I’ll serve it with you, won’t that be fun?” I smile. “We can sneak off and find the janitor’s closet again.”
