out and he had to force her out of the house.”

 
    “He did not force her out of the house,” I chimed
in before I realized what I was saying. Three sets of eyes swiveled towards me,
shocked that I had something to offer to this conversation.

 
    “I heard it from a very reliable source, Alexa.
Sasha told her best friend what happened, and she told me directly,” Natalie
huffed at me. “How would you know any differently? I didn’t think you even knew
Drake or Sasha.”

 
    “Well, I don’t exactly know them, but I was in the
kitchen when they were arguing and she left the house.”

 
    “What were you doing in the Sigma Chi kitchen last
night?” Faith asked me. “We didn’t see you at the party at all. I thought you
didn’t make it there.”

 
    “I went to the party with Aubrey. I didn’t stay
downstairs that long. Maybe that’s why you didn’t see me? Anyway, when Jackson
and I went to grab another drink before heading upstairs, we ran into Drake and
Sasha arguing at the back door. Jackson talked with them, and she walked off in
a tizzy over something. Nobody forced her to leave, but they definitely made it
clear that she wasn’t welcome.”

 
    “And what happened next? I can’t believe you didn’t
tell me first thing this morning that you met Drake Bennett last night, Lex!
Best friends are supposed to share stuff like that,” Aubrey shrieked at me
while Natalie and Faith nodded their heads in support.

 
    “Nothing happened, Aubrey. Jackson only talked to
the guy for a couple minutes, and he didn’t introduce us. So, I didn’t really
meet him last night. I just kinda observed him from afar,” I responded.

 
    “How could you waste a golden opportunity like
that?” gasped Faith. “Drake Bennett is the hottest guy on campus. Every girl
wants to meet him. And you were in the same room with him and didn’t make sure
that Jackson told him who you are? You are crazy!”

 
    “Nah, she’s not crazy. She probably didn’t even
notice how hot he is. Lex, you need to pull your head out of your ass and start
living again! If someone as sexy as Drake doesn’t even capture your attention
the teensiest bit, then I am seriously worried about you,” Aubrey wagged her
finger at me, and I started to blush in response.

 
    Damn my fair skin.

 
    “Wait a second! You did notice him, didn’t you? I
see that look. You’ve finally noticed another guy! Yay! So why didn’t you say
anything to him? Oh, crap. You were with Jackson. No way could you ask him to
introduce you after everything that happened the last time he introduced you to
a guy. Don’t worry though. We will just have to make sure you have another
chance,” Aubrey rambled on. Great, now I was going to have to admit to seeing
him again in the grocery store.

 
    “Yeah, I don’t think that’s gonna happen. I already
saw him again this morning at the grocery store. And you saw what I looked like
when I left this morning. I bumped into him, he seemed nice, and then he was
super icy to me. I don’t think the third time will be the charm.”

 
    I quickly finished making their smoothies so I
could get out of there. I really didn’t want to get the third degree about some
guy I was never going to date anyway.

 
    “Here you go! This should help with the hangovers.
I need to head out if I am going to make it to the terminal in time. See you
guys on Monday.” I grabbed my backpack off the floor near the door and peeked
inside. “Thanks for throwing my stuff together, Aubrey. I appreciate it.”

 
    “Don’t think that this conversation is over, Lex.
We will talk about this later,” Aubrey threatened.

    I parked the Mini Cooper in my parking spot at the
terminal. I rubbed my hands together in excitement as I thought about the
upcoming flight. It wasn’t often that I was able to get extra hours in the Lear
since Dad used it for most of his business charter flights. I
