As I unlocked my bike, Savannah approached me, her curly blonde hair bouncing as she jogged over.
"Hey, Stormi," she said, flashinga smile.
"Hi," I said, trying to sound more upbeat than I felt. Savannah was one of the few people who didn't treatbadly from the very beginning.
"Rough day?" she asked, leaning against the bike rack.
I nodded, adjusting the strap of my bag. "You could say that. I just want to-" Before I could finish my sentence, the air shifted. I felt them before I saw them.

"What do you want now?" I snapped, gripping my bike handle tighter.

Before I could react, Alex moved to my side and grabbed my bike.
"What are you-" "We're giving you a ride," Elijah said, his tone firm.
"I don't want a ride!" I protested, my voice rising. "Let go of my bike" Alex ignored me, lifting the bike effortlessly and walking it toward the jeep.

"Gladly," Austin said, opening the door and placingin the back stat.
Before I could scramble out, Isaiah slid in next to me, blocking my exit. Austin climbed in after him, pullingonto his lap.
I froze, my cheeks burning as I felt the hard press of his body against mine.

"Enough," Elijah said sharply from the driver's seat. "Austin, behave yourself." Alex climbed into the passenger seat, and I turned my glare on him.
"Where's my bike?" I demanded.
"In the back," Alex said casually.
"Takehome," I said firmly. And Elijah started the engine. The ride was quite. I glanced out the window, my heart pounding as the familiar turn to my cabin cinto view. Relief flooded me.
