"I could see her falling for you," I said.
"Thank you, Ror. You're my new favorite."
As he drew me into a quick hug, I couldn't help but notice Felix's eyes narrow. They stayed that way as the hug ended, fixed on Santino's hand on my waist.
A beat passed.
"Want to head out?" Hayden said."Security's supposed to meet us at the exit and walk us to the bus."
Before anyone could answer, my fake boyfriend interrupted.
"Why are you still touching her?" Felix said.
Santino immediately backed away, hands up. "Sorry, didn't realize you guys werethe real deal."
"We're not," I said quickly.
"Ferora," Elliot said with a grin.
"Ferora," Hayden agreed.
Ryker took a few steps and threw his arm around Felix. "Only 18, and you already got yourself a fake girlfriend and a couple name. How sweet."
Felix shrugged him off.
"Jealousy looks good on you, brother."
My eyes widened at that.
Was Felix really jealous?
Of me and Santino?
There was no way.
"Doesn't matter if it's real or not," Felix said finally. "Thepublic thinks it is, and I don't want anyone saying my girlfriend's cheating on me."
"I would never do that," I said.
"Good to know."
"Ferora's not so bad, I guess," I said with a faint smile, trying to lighten the mood."What do you think?"
He eyed me a moment then said, "I like AF."
I liked both, so—
"Anything with your name and mine together sounds good."
Wait…what?
Felix shook his head. "Too easy."
"What?"
"Making you blush," he said. "It's fun."
"Asfunas this is," Hayden cut in, holding up his phone, "Taylor just texted. Essie's threatening to leave if we're not on the bus in two minutes."
