As Willow directed me away from the center of the school, I could feel everyone’s eyes still latched onto me. Maybe it was a mistake for me to transfer to such a small school. I was beginning to regret my decision.
“You’ll love the cheesy tater tots at Joe’s,” Willow said as we continued to follow her out of the quad.
Haley startled us when she screeched, “Oh gosh,” and tucked her chin to her chest, covering her face with her dark hair.
“What is it?” I asked, craning my neck to look around, wondering what had frightened her. But as my eyes land on movement to my left, I had to reach out for Haley’s arm as I tripped on my own feet.
“The rogues,” Willow whispered, mimicking Haley’s movement by using her hair to cover her face.
“The what?” I inquired as I regained my balance and stared directly at the grouping of six men.
“Don’t look at them!” Willow admonished as she tugged at my arm urging me to continue walking, but I found myself pinned in place. Not by my feet, but by the angered gaze locked on me by one of them. “The ridge rogues. That’s what everyone at Wellington University calls them. The gorgeous bad boys that every girl wants to claim and every guy wants to be.”
A huff of laughter bubbled from my throat as I turned away from his steely gaze to look at Willow. “That’s not a thing,” I told her.
“Oh, it most certainly is a thing. You do not want to be on the rogue’s bad side, because if they don’t like you, no one is going to like you. Come on.”
I didn’t dare tell them that I had already experienced my first run-in with the rogues. To be honest, I wasn’t even sure if Haley and Willow knew that the bad boys lived on the floor below us. All I knew was if what they said was true, then I already had a slew of enemies against me because I could feel the fury filled stare of one particular rogue the entire time that I walked away.
