"I'm sorry, what?"
That was literally the last thing I expected.
This girl analyzed me closely. "You are, aren't you?" she insisted. "You know, the Queen of all Players from New York."

"I knew it," she affirmed with pride.
"So, Jade," the girl began, stressing my name. "That stunt you pulled against Leon Stone was genius. I didn't think you had it in you."
My lips twitched into a stolid smile. "Of course you didn't." I furrowed my brows in a brooding manner. "Although, I don't remember saying you were my friend."

My blank stare returned. I stood my ground firmly, not uttering a word.
The girl took the hint and cleverly opted for walking away, but not before cruising over to Jesse and whispering in his ear, "Watch out, you're probably her next target."
The second she was gone, Jesse stormed off.
Lovely.
I pinched the bridge of my nose and sighed quietly. Honestly, I couldn't even understand how the word got all the way to Rhode Island.
