Sitting down in front of the couch, I leaned my body back against Asher's legs. My eyes precariously drifted to the dark hallway across from us. Kris is back there. Safe. Don't worry yourself.
"So," I heard Elena say, seeing her blonde head turn to me. She'd sat next to Tristan. "Did you hear about Allison Bradey?"
Oh, Lena, you gossip queen. With a rise off my eyebrows, I thought of high school. Allison Bradey was one of the Plastic girls in my senior class. Dreadful girl. Because Tris and Ash were a few years older than Lena and myself, I'm sure they wouldn't really know who she was, but no doubt they'd probably heard of her. I tried not to add venom to my next words, "No. Why would I care?"
The beautiful Elena gave a tiny laugh, one that reminded me of a pixie, "Cool your jets, Capri. You know how after graduation she planned to marry her high school sweetheart, Connor Gild? Turns out he went and cheated on her the night before their wedding a couple of months ago and she went bizerk. Oh, and get this: Then she ended up hooking up with this Native American guy when she got drunk the day after. And now, she's pregnant."
Before I could stop it, the sarcastic words came out, "Wow, I didn't see that one coming."
Another loud but tinkling laugh came from Lena, "I know right? She so had it coming." A familiar gut-wrenching feeling occurred in my stomach as I thought about Allison. That same feeling I'd gotten many times when dealing with my pregnancy. I shouldn't be judging. I'd gone out and gotten pregnant too. I'm such a hypocrite. But I was honestly curious.
"How in the hell do you find these things out Elena?" I said with the shake of my head.
She smirked, "I have my ways."
