Everyone watches us and moves out of our way, but no one says a damn word. That’s the way I like it. I don’t need people to pretend they know me or act like they want to be friends with me. I’ve got my two friends at my side. I don’t need anyone else. I stop in front of my locker and toss a piece of cinnamon gum in my mouth. It’s my one vice. The one thing I can't live without.“Hey, boys,” Cherie practically purrs as she brushes a finger down Connor’s chest. He stares at her with disinterest before turning his attention to the locker in front of him. He twists the knob on the lock until he gets to the right number, then twists it the other way.None of us like the desperate types… well, except Mac. He likes any sort of attention. If you want mine or Connor’s attention, you won't get it by fluttering your lashes or constantly flirting. We’re above that. We have expensive tastes and like what we can't have or what’s just out of our reach. We’re the rich assholes of Prescott High who get everything they could possibly want and no one’s going to stop us.“Don’t touch me, Cherie.” Connor swats her hand away and opens his locker. He drops everything inside and spins around to face me. He won't take a single book to class. We both know it and so do the teachers. Yet, he’ll still get straight A’s. I swear he pays the teachers off. Or maybe his dad does.“You can touch me all you want. In fact, we can find an empty classroom right now and I can show you something special.” Mac wiggles his eyebrows.“There’s nothing special about your dick, Mac. Cherie’s seen more dick than a porn star. You’re not going to impress her.” Connor rolls his eyes.“I'm sure you’re quite impressive.” She slides her hand down his chest and over the waistband of his jeans, ignoring Connor’s insult.I'm honestly surprised they haven’t slept together yet. They’re both more than willing to fuck anyone of the opposite sex.“You’re going to get an STD if you let her go any further,” I mutter under my breath. Cherie scowls at me, but she doesn’t dare argue. No one has the balls to argue with us.“Hey, Grayson, can I borrow a pen? I don’t know where I put mine.” Hadley stops next to me and riffles through her backpack again.“Yeah, let me find one.” I open my locker next to Connor’s and move a few papers to the side, looking for a pen for her.“Here, you can have mine.” Mac pulls a black pen out of his pocket and holds it out to her.“Don’t touch that, who knows where his hands have been.” I push him aside and give Hadley the one I find at the bottom of my locker. “I know where they’ve been. They’ve been down my pants,” Mac mutters.“Thanks!” Hadley stands on her tippy toes and presses a wet kiss to my cheek, ignoring Mac.“Thanks for licking your lips before you kissed me,” I grumble under my breath, wiping at my cheek.“Anything for you, brother dearest!” She blows me an air kiss.Mac jumps in front of me, pretending to grab Hadley’s kiss and shoves it in his pocket. Hadley rolls her eyes and continues down the hallway.“She’s never going to give you the time of day, especially when you’re so desperate for her.” Connor eyes him with disgust.“Who says I want anything to do with Hadley? That’s gross, she’s Gray’s sister.” Mac glances at me.For a split second he looks worried. I stare him down, waiting to see if he’s going to squirm under my attention, but he doesn’t. He almost looks bored.“Morning, Will.” Connor smirks at Will Cooper as he walks by. Will mutters something back, but I can't hear what
