Chapter 70
Adonis shrugs. “I didn’t even know we were coming to Loca’s house for dinner.”
“Loca?” Braeden raises an eyebrow. “Cute nickname.”
“Mind the sarcasm.” Flynn shrugs, making Braeden nod and point at him.
“You,” dad starts, glaring at Flynn. “You. I still don’t like you.”
“Love you, too, Mr K.” Flynn shrugs, eating more cake.
“I locked the door. How the hell did you get in?”
“I took your spare key and had a copy made.” Flynn explains, holding up a key as he keeps eating.
“What the hell?” Dad gapes at him before snatching it off him.
“Don’t worry, Mr K.” Flynn grins at him. “I have another one.”
Dad turns to me. “Out of all the people in the universe–on Mars! You just had to pick him to be your
best friend?”
I shrug, eating more cake. “You love him.”
“I hate him.”
“You love me.” Flynn shoves more cake in his mouth.
“I hate you.”
Flynn ignores him, looking at Octavia with a soft smile. “Hey, Tavia.”
She gives him a small smile. “Hi, Flynn.”
Flynn gives her a bright grin, his eyes shining with admiration.
I furrow my brows before my eyes widen slightly in realisation.
“Yo, Eugene Fitzherbert.” I stand up. “Can I talk to you for a second?”
“Nope.” He continues eating his slice of cake.

“It wasn’t a question. Get your ass up.” I grab his ear and start dragging him away.
“But the cake!” He whines.
I drag him him through the kitchen and out the back door, letting it slam shut behind us.
“What was that?” I cross my arms.
“Damn, what was what?” He squeaks, rubbing his now red ear.
“You made goo–goo eyes at my sister.”
“Did not.” He denies.
“Bro, you’re my best friend, and that means I know you very, very well.” I shoot him a pointed look.
“You like my sister.”
He opens his mouth to protest but sighs and sits down on the porch swing. “Yeah, I do. But she likes
Lucas and he likes her back.”
I sit down next to him. “Yeah, that’s true.”
“Thanks. That made me feel so much better.” He huffs sarcastically.
I roll my eyes. “But-”
“But?” He looks up at me with hopeful eyes.
“But,” I start. “There’s something off about his feelings towards her.”
He looks at me in confusion. “What do you mean?”
“I don’t know.” I sigh. “It’s like it’s forced or something.”
“Forced?” Flynn repeats.
I shrug. “I’ve known Lucas my whole life. He’s keeping something from us. I think he feels like he
can’t tell us. I think something happened at that party we went to in Sophomore year.”
“Why’s that?”
“Every time someone mentions that party, he gets all uncomfortable and changes the subject.”
Flynn wraps an arm around my shoulder and pulls me into his side. “He’ll come around, Pooh Bear.”

“He’d better.” I huff. “Or I might just have to whoop his ass.”
Flynn chuckles, ruffling my hair, still keeping his arm around me.
“I’m sure you will.” He grins. “Can I go eat my cake now?”
I roll my eyes, chuckling. “Go ahead, Flynn Rider.”
“Stop calling me that!” He shouts. “I’m not from Tangled.”
“You literally stood on the roof of my house the other day and said you wanted a castle.”
“Winnie.” He warns.
“Fine.” I pout before smirking. “Bye, Eugene Fitzherbert.”
“Fuck you, Pooh Bear!”

“My anaconda don’t, my anaconda don’t,” I hear as soon as I walk through the front door of Kamri’s
house.
“MY ANACONDA DON’T WANT NONE UNLESS YOU GOT BUNS, HUN!” I shout along with uncle Max
who is twerking in the living room.
“Holy–jesus!” He grabs his chest as he jumps and turns around to face me. “Do you ever knock?”
“Don’t need to.” I shrug, holding up a key. “You gave me a key.”
“Kamri’s upstairs.” He shakes his head, turning around and making his way to the kitchen while
mumbling to himself. “Why the hell did I give that child a key to my house? One day, she’s going to
pull a Noah and break into my house in the middle of the night to steal Stella.”
“Okay, one, I already have my own jeep.” I call over my shoulder as I walk up the stairs. “Two, I can’t believe you still have that piece of crap.”
“That jeep is going with me to the grave!”
I laugh as I barge into Kamri’s room without knocking and jump on her bed.
“Hey, dude.” I grin at Kamri, who spins her wheely chair around to face me.
“Hey, Winnie.” She smiles. “So, which one do you want to binge watch first? Friends or Fresh
