You’re Mine by Penny Brooks

Chapter 63

Harper

It’s school official. Easton and I are together and everyone knows it.

That’s because from the moment he met me at my locker this morning, his arm has been planted around my shoulders. It doesn’t matter where we are in the building, he can’t stop touching me. When we walk down the hall to class, he’s right next to me. When we go to lunch, he joins the table I share with Sadie. He even has Ryan and a few of their other friends come sit with us, everyone in the cafeteria glancing in our direction as we share a slice of pizza.

We’re inseparable.

And there isn’t a single person in this school who hasn’t seen my smile today.

I can’t hide it. It’s impossible to mask the way he makes me feel and there’s no reason to

-we‘re out of hiding.

I want the whole world to know I’m Easton’s girl.

At this point, I’m positive everyone has witnessed it … except for Blake.

When I whispered about him to Sadie this morning, she told me he never showed up for school. So weird. I don’t dare ask Ryan or Easton about him, Ryan would probably want to murder me-again-and Easton would chew my face off for even thinking the question.

What I do know is Blake’s absence has put Easton in the best mood and my reputation has shifted overnight.

I’m no longer Ryan’s invisible twin sister.

I’m dating the most popular guy at school.

My God, he’ll do anything to seem like a saint to you, but deep down, you have to know he’s lying.” Her voice is turning sly, like the snake that she is. “Easton’s dick has been in almost every pussy at this school, including mine. Don’t believe me?” She smiles, closing her eyes as she lets out a long exhale. “He has a scar in the shape of a half-moon that’s a couple inches above and to

You’re so gullible, you’ll believe anything he says, and then you’ll swallow his cum like the robot he’s turned you into.” Her lip curls. “These are warnings, Harper. I’m trying to save you.” Her hands move to her hips. “But not even the sound of Easton licking my pussy will make you realize he doesn’t give a shit about you, that he’s dying to take your virginity and dump
