“Fine. You’re flipping the way we run this school, and you fucking know it,” he muttered with annoyance.

I grinned, patting his shoulder firmly.

“Good, because it was fucking shit when I got here. Besides, things change, Caden. Hunter’s keeping me safe, so get used to it.”

He glared at Hunter but spoke to me.

“You know we’d keep you safe.”

“Like the Soldiers would give a shit about shooting at you guys? No offense, but at least with the Devils involved, they aren’t as likely to start a war without a little warning.”

His expression became soft as he reached out to touch my arm.

“Stay at home soon, okay? I miss you in my bed.”

Hunter raised an eyebrow, bluntness in his voice that wasn’t necessary.

“She won’t take trouble to your place and you know it, Holloway.”

“I know, but it doesn’t mean I don’t fucking miss her,” he bit out as he turned and stormed off just like Tyler had.

I couldn’t risk them getting hurt, but I was starting to feel horrible for not making time for them.

Especially since they were practically begging me to.

No wonder they’d been so moody with me.

I was neglecting the fuck out of them.

I headed to class with Hunter in tow, surprised to find Claire waiting for me.

Was she fucking stupid?

“Rory, hey. I…”

I slammed her back against the wall and got in her face before she could finish her sentence.

“Whatever peace you wanted to make, is fucking gone. You know not to fuck with me Claire, so why would you go out of your way to risk me putting a fucking bullet in you?”

She stared at me with wide confused eyes.

“What are you talking about?”

“Don’t play dumb with me, you fucking bitch. You know exactly what you did to cross me,” I spat, but she kept stumbling over her words like the pathetic bitch that she was.

She was lucky I didn’t gut her.

“I swear, I don’t know!”

I scowled, moving back but keeping my gaze on her terrified blue eyes.

“I know Skeet’s a fucking wet dream, but how dare you try to pretend you didn’t fuck him. I don’t give a shit if he was the one to suggest it, you’re meant to say no. It’s a chapter in the how not to be a little tramp guide I told you about when we met. Watch yourself, because I’m just dying to make someone bleed.”

She visibly paled and ran from the room the moment I sat down, and Hunter chuckled with amusement as he sat beside me.

“See? Leader material. Wasn’t that your sister?”

I glared at him, hating that stupid word.
