CHAPTER 26

  PERCIE

  I locked the door behind me and cleared my throat. Hailey was already frozen in her place to see Lexie with me. Poor girl, she didn’t have a clue. But deep inside, I was glad to see her here, safe.

  “Hailey, I’m Lexie. Percie and I have classes together.” She waved her hand while her eyes barely opened. She had to lean into me to keep standing.

  Hailey hadn’t moved a muscle. I must admit that judging by her reactions right now, Lexie was right that Hailey liked me.

  “She hates me,” Lex whispered. Regret was thick in her tone.

  “Thought you went to a party.” I opened the conversation since she was still dumbfounded to reply to Lexie.

  “I said to think about it, and I thought you’re not interested in Remy’s party,” she said dismissively, glaring at Lexie.

  “It's legit. She hates me,” Lexie whispered again, causing Hailey to glare further.

  “I went with Lexie because I thought you would be there with your friends.”
