guys from the team are in this class. I can also see them giving Anna the once over…they might as well forget it…I wouldn’t let them come within five feet of her. Especially that prick Skylar…he’s a prick, a self absorbed, spoiled ass momma’s boy who bitches if he gets hit on the football field and acts like the world owes him something. I mean seriously. What kind of douche bags name their son Skylar, let me rephrase that what kind of man lets his son be named Skylar ?
Anna whispers, “ Russ, what’s wrong? You all of a sudden look like you may kill someone?”
I shake my head, “Nothing, I was just thinking about this dickhead guy I know.”
Yeah that asshole is certainly not the golden boy type I was thinking of.
I spend the next hour trying not to glare at my football buddies as they look at Anna like eye candy. When class is over Anna looks at me, “Are you sure you’re okay?”
I nod, “Yeah.”
“Hey you wanna grab lunch with me today? Gabby has a team meeting or something like that.”
I throw my arm around her shoulder, “Yeah, is the food court okay?”
She smiles, “Yep.”

Once we are seated at the food court I see Skylar and a couple of his wannabe’s making their way to our table.
He stops, “So Russ, you didn’t tell us you have a girl friend, that’s not normally your MO.”
“Anna isn’t my girl friend, she’s a friend and a roommate. She’s also Gabby’s little sister, which means she’s like Cade’s sister, so if you’d like to keep your eyeballs I’d take them off of her.”
Skylar puts his hands up looking like he’s defending himself, “Hey man, I just thought maybe someone had finally knocked the male whore off his game.” He sticks his hand out to Anna, “Hi Anna, I’m Skylar, this is Jeff and Austin. We are on the football team with Cade, Linc and this dipshit.”
She looks at them, “It’s nice to meet you. But if you call Russ a dipshit again, I’ll tell every girl I come in contact with on this campus that you have a microscopic sized dick. Also, that the only people who have actually seen it are Jeff and Austin here.”
I have to chuckle, maybe Gabby is rubbing off on her…that’s a good thing.
He looks back at her, “Hey sorry princess, I like giving Russ here a hard time. He knows it was just good fun. But I have to say, you’ve intrigued me. What are you doing next Friday night?”
She looks at him, “Umm don’t know yet.”
I can’t believe this asshole. I’m half tempted to bust his fucking nose.
He gives her that shit ass grin, “Well, Gainer is having a kick off party. You wanna go with me?”
She smiles, but I stop her, “She’s going with me and our friends.”
He winks at her, “Hey that’s cool as long as you’ll be there. I’ll see you then princess.”
I roll my eyes, “Anna don’t fall for that pricks shit lines.”
She looks pissed, “I was fine Russ, and I don’t need you fighting my battles for me.”
Now I’m getting pissed, “Well, I don’t need you fighting mine for me.”
“Look, I’m just tired of everyone thinking they need to make decisions for me. I’ve had to deal with that my whole life. I wasn’t planning on going with him to that party, but you didn’t even give me the chance to answer.”
“Well, I’m sorry. I’m just a little defensive of my friends. But, next time I’ll let you turn down your own invites. But for the record Cade and Gabby would shit if I let you go to that party with anyone but us.”
“Well, I’m defensive over my friends too and Cade and Gabby are not my boss.” She stands up and storms off from the table throwing away her trash.
Chapter 5
Anna
I storm from the food court. The door leading outside bounces off the wall behind it as I bust through it. Who in the hell does everyone here think they are? What gives them the right to dictate my life? I lived that way with my parents, but not
