“So then he was like not the pepperoni,” Laura laughed as we exited Spanish class.
I can say with absolute certainty that I have zero idea what Laura is talking about.
Suddenly, Willow approached us from down the hall.
“Don’t tell me you’ve been torturing her this whole time?” Willow’s dark eyes widened.
“I’ve been on my best behavior,” Laura declared. “Haven’t I, Emma?”
I smiled, offering a small nod.
“She’s been fine,” I assured Willow.
“See,” Laura cheered. “You should sit with us in the cafeteria.”
Who says I’m antisocial? It’s the first day, and already I’ve made friends. Still, I know better than to get attached to anyone here.
“Sure,” I agreed.
“We sit over there,” Willow started, gesturing toward a table already filled with people as we approached.
“Willow, I think that table is taken,” I furrowed my brows in confusion, spotting four boys sitting around it.
“What?” Willow questioned, her expression mirroring my own as we took seats. “Emma, this is Kyle, Tommy, and Elijah.”
My attention immediately landed on Thomas, sitting amongst the group.
“And obviously you know your brother,” Laura smiled, indicating Thomas who sat between Elijah and Kyle.
A wave of sadness washed over me. Hearing one of the boys named Tommy felt like a cruel twist of fate. The thought of meeting someone sharing my birth name felt unbearable, a constant reminder of everything I can’t have. Even Thomas, with his gruff exterior, must be feeling the same ache.
Thomas smirked at me. How did we end up with these particular people at lunch? He was enjoying this far too much.
“So where are you guys from?” Olive-skinned, chocolate brown-eyed, thick brown-haired, handsome Elijah asked.
“Indiana,” Thomas responded immediately.
“Big move,” Tommy commented casually while munching on crisps.
Tommy had light brown hair, grey eyes, and fair skin. He wore a letterman jacket and a sweet smile.
“Our dad got a job here,” I explained.
“He’s the hot new history teacher,” Laura grinned.
“Stop saying that,” Willow begged.
“She’s been fine,” I assured.
“See,” Laura cheered. “You should sit with us in the cafeteria.”
“You’ve met Jane and her sister,” Laura pointed out.
“Yeah, but they’re identical,” Tommy told her.
“Most people would find that more creepy,” Elijah chuckled. “Don’t you think, Kyle?”
Kyle sat beside Thomas, his hair dirty blond, his eyes dark. He too wore a letterman jacket.
“They’re not identical, you jackass,” Willow rolled her eyes.
Kyle was quiet. Judging by his Letterman jacket and the way he carried himself, he wasn’t one to share his thoughts freely. He clenched his jaw, perhaps in anger or frustration.
“Don’t worry about him,” Laura whispered to me. “He’s not like the rest of us… he takes a while to warm up to new people.”
I nodded slowly. I understood that feeling all too well.
“I just mean that it’s rare for me to see fraternal twins,” Tommy defended.
“Jane and Kara are fraternal twins,” Willow repeated.
“What about Lee and Jake Garcia? The guys on your football team?” Laura cocked a brow.
“Aren’t they identical?” Tommy raised a brow.
“No, Tommy,” Willow rolled her eyes.
“You’re digging yourself a deeper hole,” Ely told him.
I smirked at their interaction. I think I like these people.
“I haven’t seen Jane and Kara in a while, actually,” Laura pointed out.
“Didn’t you and Kara hook up at one point?” Elijah asked Kyle.
“Shut up, Ely,” Willow rolled her eyes.
“They were banging for six months,” Tommy corrected.
Thomas and I exchanged blank looks. We had no clue who they were talking about.
“Who are Jane and Kara?” I questioned.
“Female fraternal twins who both slept with Kyle at some point,” Laura explained.
“You guys went to the same middle school, right?” Ely raised his brows.
“I miss them,” Laura sighed, ignoring Elijah’s question.
“They were skanky,” Willow pointed out.
“They were my best friends,” Laura snapped.
“Ouch,” Tommy said dramatically.
Thomas and I exchanged blank looks.
“After you guys, of course,” Laura rolled her eyes.
If they were such great friends, what happened? Close friendships don’t just vanish into thin air.
“So what happened?” Thomas read my mind.
“He happened,” Laura pointed aggressively at Kyle. “I can’t have female friends without one of these three sleeping with them.”
“Sorry, Laura,” the three boys bowed their heads in shame, making Thomas chuckle.
That was the only thing Kyle had said at that point. These boys seemed all too similar to Thomas. If he starts hanging out with them, I wonder what mischief they’ll cause.
“It’s not funny, Jacob,” Laura death-stared Thomas.
“Come on, Laura,” Willow waved off. “Let boys be boys.”
“Hey, they can screw whoever they like, as long as they stay far away from my friends,” Laura ordered.
“We are not animals, Laura,” Ely told her.
“Prove it,” she folded her arms.
I sat back in my seat and chuckled under my breath.
“Okay,” Tommy nodded as I took a sip of my soda. “Name your price?”
“Alright,” she smiled mischievously, thinking deeply for a moment. “Uh… I know! No one is allowed to sleep with Emma.” She announced.
I choked on my soda as Thomas flashed me an amused look. I began coughing, sputtering drink onto the table.
“You can’t be serious,” Willow raised her voice. “Have you met these guys? They can’t keep it in their pants for more than a second.”
“I’m in,” Tommy agreed.
“Alright, me too,” Elijah went along with it.
“Kyle?” Laura cocked a brow. He sighed before nodding. “Good, so it’s settled… now swear.”
“What?” Thomas said, looking amused.
Swear?
“We solemnly swear not to have sex with Emma Fitzgerald,” Ely, Tommy, and Kyle pledged simultaneously.
Did they just make a pact not to sleep with me to prove a point?
“Are they always like this?” I whispered to Willow.
“Unfortunately,” she nodded. “Hey, isn’t that your dad?”
She looked toward the man in the distance. He wore a suit and was currently flirting with female teachers, smiling and laughing. You could tell that Hank was putting the moves on them.
“Like father like son, unfortunately,” I told her.
“You guys will fit right in here,” Willow reassured.
“Oh, I don’t doubt it,” I said honestly.
There are three fuckboys, a tomboy, and a cheerful, happy-go-lucky girl. Thomas will fit in with the fuckboys, and I’ll get along with both girls. I think they’ll be good company for the time being.
“Hey, your dad’s talking to Ms. Pool,” Laura pointed out.
Who’s Ms. Pool?
“So?” Thomas cocked a brow.
“So she was in deep shit with the school board last year,” Tommy explained.
“Why? What did she do?” I questioned immediately.
“She was fucking a senior,” Willow told us simply.
“Respect,” Tommy said passionately, banging his fist against his chest.
“They both managed to lie their way out of it,” Laura added. “That’s the only reason why she’s still able to teach.”
I watched Ms. Pool from a distance while she interacted with Hank. She was tall and blond, wore a pencil skirt with a button-up shirt, and had a nice smile.
“She doesn’s seem like the type,” I commented.
“Because she seems so sweet and innocent?” Laura cocked a brow.
“They call her the man maker,” Tommy told us.
“You mean child predator,” Ely corrected.
I scrunch up my face in disgust.
“She wasn’t charged technically,” Laura said. “But yes, that’s what we call her… I suggest keeping your dad away from her.”
“Thanks for the warning, but I think he can manage,” Thomas reassured.
Laura could have said that Hank was in great danger, and Thomas’ care factor would remain pretty low. I guess he resents him as much as I do—after all, Hank is the reason why we’re in this mess.
“Yeah, good luck,” Ely drank from his water bottle.
“No man can resist Ms. Pool,” Laura informed.
That made her sound like Lady Macbeth, or some other sex symbol—when in reality, she’s just a school teacher.
“Right,” I furrowed my brows.
“She’s a massive manipulative slut,” Laura continued.
“That’s an understatement,” Willow admitted.
“They were my best friends,” Laura snapped.
“Prove it,” she folds her arms.
I sit back in my seat and chuckle under my breath.
“Okay,” Tommy nods as I drink my soda. “Name your price?”
“Alright,” she smiles mischievously, thinking deeply for a moment. “Uhh I know! No one is allowed to sleep with Emma” she announces.

“It’s not funny, Jacob,” Laura death-stares Thomas.
“Come on, Laura,” Willow waves off. “Let boys be boys.”
“Hey, they can screw whoever they like, as long as they stay far away from my friends,” Laura orders.
“We are not animals, Laura,” Ely tells her.
“Prove it,” she folds her arms.
I sit back in my seat and chuckle under my breath.
“Okay,” Tommy nods as I drink my soda. “Name your price?”
“Alright,” she smiles mischievously, thinking deeply for a moment. “Uh… I know! No one is allowed to sleep with Emma.” She announces.
I choke on my soda as Thomas flashes me an amused look. I begin coughing, sputtering drink onto the table.
“You can’t be serious,” Willow raises her voice. “Have you met these guys? They can’t keep it in their pants for more than a second.”
“I’m in,” Tommy agrees.
“Alright, me too,” Elijah goes along with it.
“Kyle?” Laura cocks a brow. He sighs before nodding. “Good, so it’s settled… now swear.”
“What?” Thomas says, looking amused.
Swear?
“We solemnly swear not to have sex with Emma Fitzgerald,” Ely, Tommy, and Kyle pledge simultaneously.
Did they just make a pact not to sleep with me to prove a point?
“Are they always like this?” I whisper to Willow.
“Unfortunately,” she nods. “Hey, isn’t that your dad?”
She looks toward the man in the distance. He wore a suit and was currently flirting with female teachers, smiling and laughing. You could tell that Hank was putting the moves on them.
“Like father like son, unfortunately,” I tell her.
“You guys will fit right in here,” Willow reassures.
“Oh, I don’t doubt it,” I say honestly.
There are three fuckboys, a tomboy, and a cheerful, happy-go-lucky girl. Thomas will fit in with the fuckboys, and I’ll get along with both girls. I think they’ll be good company for the time being.
“Hey, your dad’s talking to Ms Pool” Laura points out.
Who’s Ms Pool?
“So?” Thomas cocks a brow.
“So she was in deep shit with the school board last year” Tommy explains.
“Why? What did she do?” I question immediately.
“She was fucking a senior” Willow tells us simply.
“Respect” Tommy says passionately, banging his fist against his chest.
“They both managed to lie their way out of it” Laura adds “that’s the only reason why she’s still able to teach”
I watch Ms Pool from a distance while she interacts with Hank. She’s tall and blond, wears a pencil shirt with a button up shirt. She has a nice smile.
“She doesn’s seem like the type” I comment.
“Why because she seems so sweet and innocent?” Laura cock’s a brow.
“They call her the man maker” Tommy tells us.
“You mean child predator” Ely corrects.
I scrunch up my face in disgust.
“She wasn’t charged technically” Laura says “but yes that’s what we call her...I suggest keeping your dad away from her”
“Thanks for the warning but I think he can mange” Thomas reassures.
Laura could have said that Hank was in great danger and Thomas’ care factor would remain pretty low. I guess he resents him as much as I do — after all, Hank is the reason why we’re in this mess.
“Yeah good luck” Ely drinks from his water bottle.
“No man can resist Ms Pool” Laura informs.
That makes her sound like lady Macbeth, or some other sex symbol — when in reality, she’s just a school teacher.
“Right” I furrow my brows.
“She’s a massive manipulative slut” Laura continues.
“That’s an understatement” Willow admits.
“If they were such great friends what happened?” Thomas reads my mind.
“He happened” Laura points aggressively at Kyle. “I can’t have female friends without one of these three sleeping with them.”
“Sorry, Laura” the three boys bow their heads in shame, making Thomas chuckle.
That was the only thing Kyle has said at this point. These boys seem all too similar to Thomas. If he starts hanging out with them, I wonder what mischief they’ll cause.
