“Court,” Ty’s attention was elsewhere. “Your future girlfriend is about to need help.”

Crys was attempting to make her way through the crowds. She hadn’t yet seen them. Heavy textbooks were held close to her chest in tight arms. A shy smile touched her young face. She had the look of an easy target. A familiar vulture had already spotted her.

Leaning against a table, Kurt was eyeing her up. The leech clinging tightly to his arm noticed, and she was not happy that his attentions were wandering. An evil light emerged in her narrowed eyes as she spoke loud enough to be heard clearly, “you into little girls, Kurt?”

“There’s nothing wrong with inexperience,” the suggestion was heavy.

Crys was aware that she was being talked about. Her soft eyes were looking directly at Kurt. Ty felt his phone vibrate, so he pulled it out of his pocket. In his peripheral, he kept an eye on what was his. On the phone, he was already typing a response.

“I’m gonna fucking kill him,” there was no joking in Court’s tone.

Geo moved with his brother. But an outside force was closer than they were. Though walking by seemed purely coincidental, a hard look was shot Kurt’s way. Soft curls kissed by the afternoon sun didn’t soften that expression any. Strong shoulders, hugged by the fitted sleeves of a t-shirt, conveyed bored annoyance in his posture. Lost to the din and distance, they could not hear the remark that brought anger to Kurt’s face.

“What the hell?” Court had faltered, seeing someone else step in.

Ty had an arm around Court’s shoulders, “your future girlfriend just met my future boyfriend.”
