I like him too but I am not going after him. You can only get him over my dead body, New mused inwardly. But there was no hint of his dark mood on his stone-cold face.

"It takes one to know one." King sneered back.
New's heart quivered. He brought his head to the side slightly and gave King a deep look.
So this guy looked him up.
Suddenly, New smiled. This time, instead of throwing the drink into his throat, he sipped it slowly, savoring the flavor, using it to hold himself together. He really, really wanted to punch this guy in the face.
Knowing he had no way to topple King, he decided not to go head-to-head with him. Since Anurak would be leaving at the end of the semester, he saw no reason to start a fire. Therefore, he played along.
"If he doesn't end up liking you, let him go. Don't ruin my best friend."
