‘I don’t think you’d stand a chance against Spence, sweetie,’ Addison murmured into Kate’s ear, her eyes still locked on mine. Kate didn’t look convinced.

Parking my ass on a bench by Addison’s car after class I waited for her to meet me. I was out first, her last class was on the other side of the school today.

Plugged into my Ipod, I was lost in my thoughts. I didn’t know what was up with us both today. Last night she’d been her usual sweet self and I’d been looking forward to our ride home as I usually did. She just seemed intent on winding me up today and for the life of me I couldn’t think why.

I looked up, startled as a shadow fell over me. I smiled at the gorgeous brunette but didn’t receive one in return. Shit. I thought as I turned the music off and wound up the headphones .

‘Come on.’ Addison called brusquely as she went over to her car. She unlocked it and climbed in slamming the door forcefully behind her. She was pissed about something.

I girded my mental loins and jumped up, grabbed my bag and followed her over to the car. She popped the door for me and I slid into the leather seat. I glanced at her profile as she started the car.

‘Addy?’ I tried to start a conversation but she shook her head, cutting me off.

‘Not now Spencer.’ she growled at me. What the fuck?

I was paying little attention to our route home until I realised we were nowhere near my house. We had driven out towards the edge of town and were climbing up above the city.

‘Where are we going?’ I suddenly asked my friend. Well, I thought she was my friend. Couldn’t be sure right now given the way she was behaving.

‘We need to talk.’ she growled at me once again. After another ten, fifteen minutes of oppressive silence she pulled up in a roadside clearing looking down over the city.
