“Alright, I’ll stop being a jerk.”
“Is that even possible?” I asked, trying to hold back my grin.
He tried to appear offended for all of a minute before laughing at himself. I loved his laugh. It was husky and low, which kick started the butterflies in my stomach, and no matter how I was feeling always made me want to join in.
“You really have no idea,” he smirked. “I keep my extra special jerkiness just for when you’re around.”
“Oh, that’s an incentive to hang out with you. You really should’ve kept that to yourself.”
He tossed his head back and laughed before turning straight-faced. “I’d be on my best behavior,” he paused, “at least for the first five minutes or so.” Then he grinned, flashing his adorable dimples at me and making my knees weak.
“If that,” I responded. He looked ready to argue the point when the bell rang, ending our time together for the day. Study hall always seemed to fly by. I sighed. I didn’t want it to end.
Apparently, neither did he. “Do you think you could blow off lunch with your group on Monday? We could meet here.”
“And do what?” I asked, grabbing my books off the table and heading towards the front of the library.
“I don’t know; anything I guess.”
I thought about spending another lunch period with Alexa and her friends and grimaced. “Sure. I can meet here on Monday.”
“Great! See ya, Sophie.” He tugged on a curl that was hanging loose on the side of my face and was gone. My heart fluttered in my chest and I leaned against a bookcase, feeling light headed. He called me Sophie. I smiled. Only my parents and Abby called me Sophie. I stood there with a goofy grin on my face staring after him until my shoulder was knocked from behind.
“Sorry,” said the girl as she pushed by me but her tone made it clear she was anything but.
I rubbed my shoulder, watching as she walked away until recognition hit. It was the girl Connor had been arguing with, the one in the other coven. What the hell was that about?
