You’re Mine by Penny Brooks novel Chapter 152

 

 Easton

 I'm still not over it.

I'm not gonna lie, I stared at my locker longer than what should be appropriate once we were back at school for at least two months.

Things were somewhat back to normal.

I mean, if normal was fucking your girlfriend's ass more than once and receiving presents you never thought you'd receive— even post—Christmas.

I smirked again.

"Stop thinking about my sister before I strangle you,’ Ryan says next to me, leaning against the metal locker and giving me a disgusted look.

"Fuck, I hope Spring Semester goes by fast.” "You know you just ruined my perfect mood, right? I was thinking about all these tight holes that needed to be filled with my—"

"—Fuck you!"

"—bruh, stop, I've got shop this last semester, wanted to take things easy.

What the hell were you thinking about?” I smile because I know he can't kill me but wants to since his brain went exactly where I wanted it to go just because he ruined my awesome mood.

His eyes narrow.

"Somethings not right with you."

"And you're so much better.” I scoff.

"You look like you got kicked in the nuts before walking in here, and you're more pissy than usual.” "Whatever."

He looks away.

The bell rings.

He pushes off the metal lockers and turns to walk away, then turns back to me.

"Look, it's like this."Oh shit, I'm gonna be late to class, I just know it.

"This is it."

In dramatic fashion, Ryan spreads his arms wide like he's trying out for a musical and ready for his big moment.

"This, right here."

"Um, the bell ringing? Smelling gross freshman? Watching them get a boner over Miss.

Stead when she hosts an assembly about sex ed?"

"No man."

Ryan looks ready to bang his head against my locker.

"I'm just saying, we don't have much time left.

I want to make it worth it.

With you, possibly Blake if he survives that long, Sadie, and yes, even my sister.” He makes another face.

"What did you have in mind?"

He suddenly grins.

"Well, for today, we'll behave."

"And tonight? Tomorrow?"

I bang my fist against the locker in excitement.

"What did you have in mind?"

"Trouble."

"The good kind?"

Sadie sprints down the hall at that moment.

"I'm late for class! Aghhhhh!"

Ryan pulls her into his arms and presses a kiss to her lips, and I'm suddenly sad, not just sad, but jealous.

I miss Harper.

She left me early to go to class and turn in more extra credit.It's weird.

How the school year started.

I frown and stare down the hall even though I'm supposed to be going to class.

Months earlier, Harper was invisible to me...

okay, not invisible, but she was just there.
