Reject You to Break You (To Reach You Book 2)

Chapter Ten: Idiotic References

North-

"Yes?" I say impatiently, picking up my phone. 

"Hey!" Jack's voice greets me. "How soon can you be here?"

"Where is here?" I say, still working on Calc homework, Harlow was painting her nails on my bed. 

"My place, I have news, and you need to be there,"

"Uh-huh,"

"You're not really going to come?" Jack sounded curious. "Is this because of Ridge?"

Just hearing his name made me wanted to punch a wall. "No, Jack, I have homework and I was hanging out with Harlow, since when do you call me anyway, how'd you get my number?"

"I snuck it from Tate's phone," he sounds triumphant. Child. 

I scoff. "Good for you, now hang up,"

"No, no, listen North, this is serious please, Tate's going to love this,"

"Reason. Now," I demand. 

"Nope, gotta be there, and don't tell Tate you're coming? Please, this needs to be a secret,"

"You're wasting my time Jackoff, tell me what the hell you're hiding or I'm going to hang up and then block you,"

"All right!" He explodes, frustrated, and I smile as I detect a nervous tone. "I am not going to spell this out, here's all I have to say, chapter 34 in Pride and Prejudice, that's all I'm hinting!"

I knew that chapter by heart and for a minute I'm confused before the phone drops, my mouth wide open in shock. 

Holy shit. 

"I'll be right there," I say, barely holding back my laughter at his nervousness. I turn to Harlow, who's watching me curiously. "Put something nice on!" I order. 

"I have a dilemma to discuss with you," she whines halfheartedly. 

"In the car!" I shout from the bathroom, grinning.
