What the hell is Sers?
But everyone wanted to go to Sers, so the decision was made and everyone left.
Outside, Mandy pulled me towards Tristan’s car. “Hold on. I gotta grab my purse,” I muttered, darting towards the pool-house.
“Okay. We’ll wait,” Mandy called after me, moving towards the white Rolls-Royce.
Tray was doing the same when I entered his bedroom. I saw him stuff his wallet in his back pocket.
“What the hell is Sers?” I asked, looking around the room.
“It’s a rec center on the lake in town,” Tray answered distractedly. I watched him as he searched around the room for something. He lifted up a pillow, but put it back down.
“I plugged your cell in.”
“Oh. Thanks.” He lifted up a shirt and there it was.
“I did that when you were beating the shit out of that dumbass punching bag,” I murmured, looking for my purse.
I looked up, grabbing my purse—which was in the corner—and found him looking at me. “What?” I stopped, slinging my purse over my shoulder, to have it cross my body.
“Nothing.” His eyes didn’t reflect nothing, but I let it go.
“Okay.” I shrugged, moving to the door.
But Tray stopped me, he grabbed my hand and pulled me to him. Bending his head, he kissed me, his hands resting on my hips, holding me firmly against him.
When he lifted his head, he said, “Thanks.”
“For what?”
He didn’t say anything, but grinned, leading the way out.
I followed him out and headed towards Tristan’s car. The backdoor was open with Mandy half sitting outside. “Let’s go, Taryn. She’s riding with us, Tray.”
Tray lazily lifted a hand in response, already heading to his own vehicle.
When I climbed in beside Mandy in the backseat, Tristan sent me a small smile before starting the car. Erin sat in shotgun.
“Mandy, have you talked to Devon lately?” Erin turned and asked. She looked at me, then immediately looked away. I guess I still made her nervous.
He left yesterday. Define ‘lately.’
I tuned the conversation out. Mandy had launched into a story about how she drunk-dialed him last night and he was not amused. The guy’s getting ready for the play-offs. He probably needed his sleep. I could sympathize with him.
After a short drive to the opposite side of town, we reached Sers. The place was huge, complete with tennis courts, sand
volleyball courts, and a diner. The giant rec center sat on the lake with a fifty-foot dock. I could see about twelve boats and a few Skidoo jet-skis anchored to it. On the opposite side of the dock, there were paddle boats pulled up on the beach. The best thing about the place? An Olympic size, indoor pool with three diving boards.
Plus…the place was packed. Mandy was right. Everyone had skipped today and they all seemed to have the same idea.
I saw Larkins at one of the tables with his hacky-sack buddies.
As we walked closer towards the table area, I saw Aidrian Casners and Crystal Fairs at another table. They were surrounded by a bunch of other students.
This was school without the classes and teachers.
Then a thought came to mind, and I looked into the furthest corner and saw Molly, Kayden, and Angela.
