"Don't tell me you slept in Hiro's room?" Stales asked, his eyes wide with disbelief. They were already
dressed, ready for the combined class of racing and long jump, though none of them were sure it would even hold.
"Nothing happened, Stales," Angela rolled her eyes, regretting the words the moment they left her mouth. Now he would never let it go. She knew he would keep teasing her. It would not have been wrong if something happened between her and Hiro since he was her mate, but nothing did, and Stales would never accept that. "I slept on the bed, he used the couch."
"Really?" Stales laughed so hard that his voice echoed across the room. "Can you believe this, Alex? She wants us to buy that story."
Alex didn't respond. He seemed far away, lost in thoughts that weighed him down. Angela had noticed since morning that something wasn't right with him. She asked, but all he ever said was that nothing was wrong. She knew he was lying.
