I looked over at Rory and met his gaze. He inclined his head toward me; he understood what happened. “The nosebleed wasn’t about you, Tara,” he told her, turning back to the football game. “Lexie has always gotten a lot of nosebleeds.” Tara looked at him like he was insane. Then she crossed her arms and glared at me. She seemed determined to get me in trouble for something. “She’s hanging out with a bunch of boys. One of them is Zeke Blackthorn. That really scary guy, he’s a total bully.”
