“Bullshit you did. Don’t start anything.”

“I think,” I cut in quickly before the two could start, “what Lavena is trying to say is that—”

“No, no, I’m not, Kami. I’m not trying to say that at all,” Lavena snapped in, eyes never leaving Kas. “What I’m saying is that I am going to go in there and level that fucking place if I get even a whiff that someone is hurting Suki. I will burn it to ashes and maybe shit on those ashes. Those motherfuckers are a hundred percent responsible for whatever is wrong with her. I would bet my last fucking dollar on it, and I am going to find out.”

“She’s not wrong, Kas. Remember what it was like when we were there?” Sasha whispered. “Suki doesn’t have friends like you had us. She’s completely alone in there having to deal with all that.”

“And remember how our parents were when we told them?” Lavena added. “No one believed us.”

A crimson flush had blossomed high in Kas’s cheeks, illuminating the tears and hate glistening in her eyes. “You don’t think I asked her about that?”

“Suki won’t tell anyone, you know that,” Sasha murmured gently. “She’s a sweet kid and doesn’t want to get into trouble.”

“And given how scared she is, someone put the fear of God into her,” Lavena added. “I’ll bet anything it was the gaping cuntMrs. Lancaster. That flaming, piece of human waste. She should be your first mark, Sash. Rid the world of that stupid bitch.”

Lavena dropped back and downed the rest of her drink in an angry gulp.

Unlike them, I didn’t attend the elite, private academy, but I’d heard the stories over the years. I watched each of them struggle after ahard dayas they would call it. None of them ever told me what actually happened behind those walls, but I suspected Carlton wasn’t the top education system in the country, producing some of the brightest students known to man because they offered cookies and naptimes.

“If it’s not and she gets kicked out…”

“I will personally fund her entire education at literally any other school,” Lavena promised.

“The fact that Carlton is a tradition in our families is insane,” Sasha muttered. “My parents reserved spots formykids the day I was born. That’s how ridiculous it is.”

“My kids will never go there,” Lavena grumbled, reaching over and snatching the wine bottle off the stone table and refilling her glass. “I don’t know if I’ll ever have any, but if I did, they wouldn’t set foot in that cursed place.”

“I think you would be an amazing mom if you ever decided to have kids,” I told her.

Lavena shook her head, taking a large swallow of her drink before speaking. “I’m a better aunt. I’d rather spoil my niece and nephews and burn down schools for them.”

“I want kids,” Sasha said with a little smile. “Like two, maybe.”

“Ugh, no thanks,” Kas groaned. “Gross. I hate babies. I hate everything about them.”

“How do you hate babies?” I cried, stunned.

“Easily. They stink. They cry. They won’t tell you what they want, they just scream like idiots. They have too much baggage and don’t get me started on the crying.”

We all stared at her until she sighed and rolled her eyes.

“Do you guys remember my Aunt Milly? My dad’s sister?” at our nods, she continued, “you guys know she has like twenty kids.”

“She has six,” Sasha argued.

“Same thing. They are a nightmare. Jesus. She asked me to watch them for two hours one weekend and … guys, never again. Never. I would rather deep fry my entire body in hot grease and roll around in a pile of salt. Oh, and the best part? She didn’t even pay me becausethey’re my cousins.What bullshit is that? I deserve a fucking medal of bravery. Those little monster…” she made a fist and shook it. “They need their own padded cell.”

“They might actually like that,” Lavena muttered.

Sasha and I laughed. Kas seemed less impressed by the joke.

“No kids for me.”

“I say no kids because, as much as I love my life, I would be too terrified to bring a small human into it,” Lavena explained. “What we do, how we live our lives … how can I justify that level of selfishness?”

“Not wrong,” Sasha sighed. “I don’t know if I want my kids in my family’s line of work. Thankfully, I have four other siblings who can carry on the tradition, but it scares me.”

Lavena nodded vehemently, motioning to Sasha with her drink as if to say,right?“I was telling Kami earlier how stupid it was for a normal person to have a relationship with someone like us.”
