CHAPTER NINETEEN

Strictly following Kavanagh’s instructions, I stay in the apartment all day Sunday. Guilt was present at my avoiding Brock. It wasn’t until almost eight in the evening before I turned my phone back on. He had sent me a couple of messages checking on me, but each one went unanswered.

Embarrassment filled me anytime my mind drifted to the night before.

Kavanagh messaged me that Karoline was officially off campus. He didn’t tell me how he did it, but I didn’t care about the details. She was gone, and that was all that mattered.

The six of us spent the day studying and working on various assignments. Kennedy was, once again, unhappy about her forced cooking lesson. The chicken that she made was a little overcooked, but other than being a little dry, it was still edible.

It’s now Monday afternoon, and my feet take me to the library. The day has been predominately uneventful, thankfully. Dread pools in my belly at Brock’s response to yesterday. Finding him already set up in our study area tells me that it won’t take long to find out.

“Kassidy,” he says dismissively.

“Hi, Brock.” His expression is unreadable as I watch him, waiting for something from him but unsure as to what.

He bends his head down, focusing on the papers spread across the table. Heaving a sigh, my ass hits an empty chair, leaving one open between the two of us. Pulling my own work out of my bag, Brock pushes several of his assignments in my direction without uttering a word. Opening my mouth to speak, a nasal voice interrupts, causing my mouth to snap closed in annoyance.

“Aww,” she draws out. “Look at the happy couple,” Danica’s voice full of sarcasm.

Looking up, she stands there with her hip cocked and arms crossed over her chest. A quick look around confirms that she is alone, at least for the moment.

“What do you want?” Brock barks at her.

“Oh, you know…” she says coyly. “Heard some rumors that there might be trouble in paradise because of Saturday’s party.” Danica doesn’t give either of us a chance to respond before she continues. “Word around campus is that you weren’t enough for Brock, and your sister had to finish what you started after you took off. From what I hear, you got yours and left him hanging,” she states smugly, staring at me as she speaks, trying to elicit a reaction.

Danica uses her chin to point in Brock’s direction. Her shit-eating grin spreads from ear to ear. It is obvious from her version of events that no one knows the truth of what happened.

Deciding not to rise to the bait, I cross my hands over each other on the tabletop, pasting a soft smile on my face and addressing Danica, “Is there something you need me to help you with? We are a little busy right now,” my voice is sticky sweet as I refuse to engage in her bullshit.

Her eyes bounce between the two of us as we simply stare at her with blank looks.
