As he made his way towards the door, he made sure to stop in front of me. “I’d cover up if I were you. Otherwise I might think I was making you that excited.” He smarked as he bent down to whisper in my ear.
It took me a minute to process what he was saying, but when I finally did my face began heating up. “Get out I shrieked as I aimed to punch his shoulder but he easily doped me D

later, princess.” He winked. “Bye Caroline.” And with that, he shut the door behind him and I was left standing awkwardly with my face still flushed.
Caroline didn’t waste any time coming out from my bedroom and bombarding me with a million questions. “Oh my god!” She whisper–yelled. “What was Alden Cooper doing at your house on a Saturday morning?
“Gearly brining us coffee and food.” I stared at her dead pan in the eye.
“Don’t be a smart ass!” Caroline rolled her eyes. “Since when does he just randomly drop by your place, Oh my god! Are you two a thing?”
It was my turn to roll my eyes. “We’re not a thing care. He usually picks me up on Saturday morning and we go running together. I texted him last night I couldn’t make it today and I guess he was feeling kind so he dropped off food. Calm down.
“The” She snickered. Theo never dropped off coffee and food at my house just for the heck of it,” As soon as the words left her mouth, her expression changed. completely.

Tm fine!” the replied quickly, as she shot me a fake smile []
“It’s okay to not be fine” I said taking a seat next to her. “What Theo did was really shitty, and nobody expects you to be okay after that. It’s going to take some time, but were all here for you.
“Thanks.” She whispered as tears began streaming down her face. Caroline was a very emotional person, so it comes as no surprise to me that she’s still shedding tears over the asshole. They were together for about two years, and something like this is bound to stay with her for a while.
“I have an idea.” I smuled turning towards her. “Go get dressed.”
She gave me a confused look, but went back to my room to get changed.

Caroline finally raved and got out of the car. We were parked across the street from Theo’s house. His gray Jeep was parked right in front of his house, and it dada 1 look like anyone was home. As the three of us had behind Brooke’s car, I turned to Caroline and Brooke. “Spray paint whatever you want on his car, anul the moment
