Never forget you

Chapter 30: Skye

My entire body lit up the second I saw his reaction when I took off my black hoodie. Butterflies filled my stomach, a giddiness I haven't felt in forever flew high inside of me. It felt unreal. A high a never knew existed. And it only made me crave it more. Who knew driving Knight Thomas insane would come close to feeling like I was soaring? It's an adrenaline rush I never would have imagined and it just makes me want to do it more.

The flock of guys who flew to me was unaccounted for but I used them to my advantage, craving that angry, sinister look Knight had on his face when he saw them surrounding me. The second I walked down the hall though I showed my teeth. My true colors. Making them cringe and fall away like the scared little mice that they all are. I think that's what still pulls me and Knight together. The fact that he doesn't shy away from me. That even when I show my darkest of colors he proves that they're still bright.

We have an attachment like no other. A bond. A magnetism. Maybe because we've known each other for so long. Maybe because we were each other's first and there's always something about the first of...well, anything. Whatever it is, it's there and I don't really know if it's annoying as shit or if it's something amazing. It's both my inner voice yells.

I'm on a high by the time lunch comes, still smiling and giddy from Knight's reaction this morning. So it's no surprise that when I enter the lunch room with Lila Knight's entire table is staring us down. Their eyes follow every move we make and it's impossible not to notice.

"Jeez, girl. I can't tell if you have a death wish or if you just really love to mess with them."

I chuckle as I grab a tray. "Maybe both?" Lila laughs before I continue. "I don't dress for anyone but myself."

Lila rolls her eyes before stopping. She pops her hip and narrows her eyes at me as if knowing I'm full of shit. I mean, maybe just a little but I do normally only dress for myself.

I roll my eyes right back. "Okay, fine. Maybe....mayyyybeeee there was a small part. A very, very small part of me that dressed to see his reaction today. Okay?" I roll my eyes once more making Lila laugh.

"Yeah. Okay. Whatever the case I think you got a reaction alright."

I look over my shoulder to see what she nodded at and find Shane making his way over to us in the lunch line. Niko and Reese laughing while sitting on top of their table and Knight sending him a death glare that could kill. Perfect.

I turn back around and put on the best show of my life pretending that I have no idea what's about to happen or who's about to approach me. Grabbing a ham and cheese sub I place it on my tray and reach over to grab a bag of fresh chocolate chip cookies when a tattooed hand touches mine.

"Shit, sorry, princess. Looks like we're into the same things." Shane smirks down at me as his other hand grabs around my waist as he leans forward into me to grab a bag of cookies. If it was any other day I would turn around and knee him in the balls for sticking his semi hard dick into my ass accidently just to reach for some damn cookies, but it's not. And right now I'm going to suck down my instincts to kick his ass and use this to my advantage.

I wiggle my ass back into his groin and chuckle as his eyes widen. "It's all good, big boy, I know how good they are."

Shane clears his throat, blinking at me. I threw him off his game and I have to bite down on my lip to make sure I don't laugh in his face at his reaction. Knight is watching and that's the only thing keeping me going. I need to prove to that asshole that he didn't get to me. That him leaving me in the middle of the night after the best sex of my life and then flaunting around another girl...no, not just another girl but the girl. Maddie. The girl we went to camp with. The girl who we fought about when we were seven. The girl he was partnered with for our annual rec games. The one he-
