We watched him leave and I was pretty sure every single one of us were appreciating the tightness of his jeans. Sarah especially because when I glanced over at her, she was rubbing her lips together and staring at him as if he were a snack. I had to shake my head to loosen the strange surges of female hormones grabbing ahold of me. If I wanted to stare at a cowboy, there were plenty more around here who weren’t my best friend.
“Guys, I got to get to work before my mom calls the national guard to bring me in,” I said, glancing down at the time on my phone. “You can check out guys later.”
Lexi sighed dreamily beside me, as if she hadn’t heard me. “Did you see those cowboys? I mean, did you really see them? Those boots. Those rugged muscles.
“Or those jeans?” Beth giggled. “I think I’m in love. Every man should own a pair.”
Sarah tossed her hair one last time and threw me a smile that hinted at nastiness. “You know, Lottie, I’m not sure how you do it. If I had a best friend who looked like that, I’d have a hard time not falling for him. Hunter’s delicious. You sure do know how to pick them.”
Dread cast a shadow over my head as Sarah’s lips twisted into a scheming smile. I wasn’t sure what her plans were for Hunter, but the last thing he needed after moving back to Rock Valley was to become another victim of Sarah Claiborne.
And the truth was, Sarah had nothing to worry about. Hunter and I had a pact. We’d set it back in seventh grade. Never reveal the top secret location of our hangout. Always make up after a fight. And never ever fall for each other. If we followed that, we’d never hurt each other. It was an unbreakable agreement.
“You’re delusional,” I told her with a nervous laugh. “Those boys with their tight jeans are going to your head.”
Lexi and Beth snorted with laughter, but Sarah shot me one last superior smile before turning on her heels to march away. Even as she disappeared from view, her words flitted around my head like bees, resisting my attempts to swat them away.
No, I would not be falling for my best friend. He knew the rules we’d set long ago. So did I. My best friend was back and nothing was going to change between us.
One way or another, I’d find a way to get my life back to normal.
Even if I had to fight a bull to make sure it happened.
Or every mean girl at Rock Valley High.
