“You broke my dress code,” he said.
I nervously tucked on my sleeve. “Yes, but I’m wearing the school’s.”
“I override the school’s.”
Since everyone’s attention was on us, I hushed my voice so only he could hear. “Arisono said I only have one more strike before I’m expelled.”
Enzo gripped the back of my chair, yanking it back. “Up.”
My knees hit the table. “What?”
“Up,” he spat, throwing a clean shirt on my lap.
One of his black shirts.
I crossed my arms, refusing to be humiliated in front of my peers again.
But like always, I should’ve remembered who I was dealing with.
Enzo snatched the shirt from my lap, threw it over his shoulder, and reached past me. Someone gasped at our table when he grabbed a water flute and proceeded to pour it over my head.
Cold water struck my face, stealing my breath.
I choked on my spit, unable to speak, and ice cubes landed on my skirt. A few hit my bare knees. I blinked away tears, my eyelashes sticking together, as water ran down my chin.
Everything in the room froze.
Every sound dulled.
Every movement slowed.
Students, teachers, servers. No one made a move.
Enzo leaned in to brush his lips along my ear. “Uh-oh, Blair. Looks like you’re in need of a dry shirt.”
I wiped water from my forehead to hide my embarrassment.
His voice grew more menacing. “If you don’t get up and follow me right fucking now, I’ll make you strip out of that shirt in front of everyone and change into mine.” He clicked his tongue. “You know I don’t make empty threats.”
