Excerpt:
“Do
I know you?” Jax asked, stumbling back and forth.
“We have like four classes together…and
I’m pretty sure you and my sister had a thing freshman year,” I replied,
positive he couldn’t have been drunk enough to forget I even existed…or could
he?
“Oh.” He raised his eyebrows animatedly,
his blue eyes twinkling. “Satan, right?”
“Excuse me?” I asked, shocked by his
question.
“Your name—or at least that’s what your
sister used to call you…” His lips curled up into an evil smile.
I let go of his arm, but stood my
ground. “Why are you being like this? You invited me,” I whispered, looking
down, my face burning up.
Jax obviously did not get the memo that
we were being discreet, because his volume only seemed to increase, catching
more attention than I would have liked. “I invited you? In what world?”
He cackled like an evil villain and then turned his back to me, filling his cup
up with beer.
My cheeks were growing redder by the
minute, a combination of embarrassment and pure rage. He was the only reason I
had even agreed to come. I knew I was an outsider; that I didn’t fit in with
his crowd—but he was the one who convinced me that everything was going to be
alright. “You’re seriously going to sit there and pretend like you didn’t
invite me to this party twice?” It was hard not to be fuming.
He turned around slowly this time,
sipping on his beer, a calculated look playing across his eyes. “Well you
obviously can’t take a hint…I’m going to give you the best advice of your
life…are you ready? Lay off the cupcakes fatty! I can get any girl in here,
what would I want with a pig like you?”
I
looked around and realized all eyes were on us; more importantly, me. Jax had
just given them the reality TV bit they craved for the night. Tears were
beginning to form at the corners of my eyes and I knew I didn’t have much time
before the waterworks. “Peyton…” I heard my friends call after me. But it was
drowned out by the noise of laughter. Jax was laughing hysterically at what he
had just said to me, and the worst part about it? Everyone had joined in. Now
all I heard as I ran and pushed my way through the crowd was oinks and laughs.
