“Ah-hum. You alright beautiful? It’s not every day an Angel falls at my feet.” Not sure I heard correctly I stutter in shock. “Um, wh-what?”

He has the audacity to chuckle at my response.

I’d be almost offended if he didn’t look so damn hot!

We’re both pulled out of our—okay—my daydream when someone plants a hand on my shoulder, startling me even more. The new guy’s face turns to stone as my brother speaks from beside me. I internally cringe with what he says next. “Sup sis. I see you met Cory. Cory, this is my little sister that I’ve been telling you all about, Iris.”

I look at Cory and see the flirtatious boy is no longer there. Instead, he looks repulsed by me; I’m not fooled though.

I hate Justin right now. I could scream down the whole corridor knowing he’s already done the my sister is off limits speech. College may have just become my worst nightmare, and to top things off I’m officially very late for class.

Screw my life.

Shaking off my walk-through memory lane, I protest all while trying to get my dress on. “Oh crap, I can’t get this damn dress over my hips. I swear I’ve gained at least five kilos since I brought it.” It’s a seductive little thing, equipped with its low back and V neckline allowing my lovelies to showcase the perfect amount of cleavage without being too revealing.

A vigorous roar of laughter is heard from the bathroom as Nat obviously heard my every word. “You have no idea what you’re talking about! You got it last week. It will still fit you. No ass, no class, remember!”

“God, I love you!” I can’t help laughing like a hyena on crack.

“Are you ready yet? We need to get this girl on the road, I mean show—I said get this show on the road.”

Both bursting out with giggles as we come together in the lounge, the wine already lightening our spirits, we finish organising ourselves and order an Uber to this new club where the boys will hopefully be waiting.

After all, where Justin goes, Cory isn’t far behind.
