The girls on the table were watching our interaction with rapt attention. Austin was drooling, well mentally at least. Kyla and Maddy were just amused at my reaction. Amy was grinning up at her friend

Addison sat stiffly beside me, her face expressionless. Something was going on there. She wasn’t like this around Amy and Maggie. It seemed Katrina was an unknown quantity and she didn’t like it. 

‘Nice to meet you Katrina,’ I once again purred. That’s all they were getting I thought, quickly diverting their attention from me.

‘Shove up Glen and let the girls sit down.’ I ordered my ill mannered brother.

‘Oh, sorry Chels, Katrina’ he apologised, breaking off his conversation with Aiden and Brad.

‘Thanks,’ Chelsea gave him a warm smile as she sat down. Interesting!

 ’Sorry, I have to drop some books off at the library ,’ Katrina excused herself.

‘But it was interesting to meet you Spencer. I’ll see you around.’ she threw me a wink as she left.

‘Bye guys!’ this was directed at Amy and Chelsea. They waved at their friend.

‘Ugh! She is such a playa,’ Amy exclaimed. ‘Sorry about that Spencer.’ she apologised.

‘Seems they’re as bad as each other,’ Addison spoke up. Gee thanks!

She didn’t sound herself. What the hell was up with her? I had a feeling that things maybe weren’t going so well with Kate. She still hadn’t talked to me about her ‘yes and no’ comment. I’d taken Austin’s suggestion to heart and dropped the subject. Maybe I should have pushed her?

‘Honestly, once you get to know her she’s a lot of fun.’ Chelsea butted in. 

‘Once she gets over the thought of fresh meat you mean!’ Amy said with a chuckle.

‘You can’t sleep with every girl you meet Spencer,’ again Addison with the negativity.

Yeah, like you’re gonna stop her,’ Madison snorted. 

Kyla just looked on, her brow furrowed in concern. Anything she might have said was interrupted as Mike and Co stood to leave.

‘Bye Spencer, Kyla.’ Mike mumbled, unsure about interrupting our conversation.

‘Yeah, see you tomorrow Mike.’ Kyla replied cheerfully. He looked surprised.

‘Nice to meet you guys,’ I said with a smile at the freshmen. ‘See you at lunch?’ They nodded frantically.
