Chapter 38

One eye roll later,I heard footsteps coming up the marble staircase,headed right for us.

The last thing I wanted was to cause a scene.

“Okay,fine it’s a big deal.”I glowered at her,“Can we go now?”

Zoe nodded and turned towards the stairs.

As we walked,she glanced over her shoulder at me and said,“Don’t go thinking this conversation is over.”

“Can we at least forget about it until tonight?”I begged,pleading to her with myeyes not to say anything to the others.

Before she could answer,we were both caught off by the drop-dead gorgeous boy-no,man-who stepped off the staircase in front of us.

“Oh,hey,you must be the new girl.”His voice dripped like sexy honey,washing its amber goodness all over me.

Jeez,when did I become that girl?

But seriously,James Booth was so hot I could almost imagine that he was licked by flame.

“That’s me,”I said dorkily,and my cheeks began to burn as hot as if I’d eaten ajalapeno.I really hate those things!
