Chapter 179

Harper

"You're right on time, I love it,’ Sadie says when I meet her outside her locker.

“Why would I be late?" I ask.

"You know, I just figured you and Easton would have a quick sexy session before we went shopping.” I laugh.

“In the student parking lot?" She shrugs and shuts her locker, the two of us now walking out of school.

“Wherever.

You guys can never keep your hands off each other.” “Same for you and Ryan—but please don't talk about it.

I still can't stomach the details.” "Girl, I'm just glad your brother forgave me for the whole Blake thing and he didn't demolish Blake's face in the process"

"That makes two of us.

I mean, the party was a blast, but cleaning up Blake's blood would have made for a horrific ending.” I turn toward her as we reach the parking lot.

"I still can't believe I walked in on you two.

It was pretty nuts to see it, Sadie.

Blake and you—the last thing I ever expected"

“I swear it was Ryan.

But, honestly, it could have been the president and I was in no shape to even know the difference.” I giggle, trying to wipe that image from my head, too, and climb into her car.

Once she pulls into the road, I check my wallet to make sure the money is still in the slot where I put it this morning.

"I really hope the shop is running some kind of prom sale.

I can't afford to spend a fortune on this dress.” "Didn't Easton give you his credit card to pay for it?" I glance out the window.

"Yep"

"So, use it.” I sigh.

"I really dont want to, Sadie.

I feel weird about it.” "Why?" She speeds up, hauling ass through the yellow light.

"I don't know, I just do.

I have my own money to pay for it.” "But you also have Easton's and he wants you to use his card or he wouldn't have given it to you"

I understand that and I thanked Easton endlessly when he handed me his black card at lunch today.

But putting that expense on him feels like too much and not fair to him.

"I'll think about it,” I tell her just so we can change the subject.

“What color dress are you thinking?" She turns at the next light and begins to slow as we get closer to the store.
