Felix shook his head. “I knew I never should have gone into business with that asshole.”
I bit the inside of my lip. He had gotten into business with Cupcake because of me. Another thing to add to the ever-growing list of things I’d messed up.
“Felix, I’m so…”
“It’s fine, newb. It’s better that I’m out of distribution. Hell, I think I’m done with the whole thing. I might just sell Cupcake my client list. I don’t want to be my parents. I had to fly halfway across the world for them to even talk to me. They’re dicks. I don’t want to be anything like them.”
“Really?” I couldn’t help but be excited. Felix was too good for that business. “You’re going to stop selling altogether?”
He laughed. “A very smart girl once told me that I’m better than that.”
“You are better than that.”
He looked back over at Cupcake. “Besides, I don’t want to work with someone like him. I talked to him about what happened with Kennedy. He swears it went down differently than…”
“Kennedy wasn’t lying.”
He winced. “I didn’t say she was. I believe you. I believe her. But he…” He shook his head. “Kennedy should talk to someone about what happened. Cupcake isn’t going to listen to me. And he should pay for what he did to her.”
“She doesn’t want anyone else to know.”
“Maybe I could talk to her?”
“No. I promised I wouldn’t tell anyone. I shouldn’t have even told you. Please don’t say anything.”
“But someone needs to…”
“Please, Felix.”
He pushed his hair off his forehead. “Okay. I won’t say anything. But what if he does it again?”
Isabella.Cupcake was dating her now. I knew she was terrible. The literal worst human being I’d ever met. But shouldn’t I warn her? About what Cupcake was like?
Felix and I both looked at each other.
“I’ll try to talk to Kennedy again,” I said. “To see if she’ll come forward. And in the meantime…I guess I should warn Isabella? Somehow without telling her about what happened with Kennedy.”
“I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t warn Isabella,” Felix said.
“Yeah, but I’d blame myself if he did something to her. Maybe I’ll write a menacing letter to her about it in red lipstick.”
Felix laughed. “Dump Cupcake or else?”
I smiled. “Yeah, something like that.”
Coach Carter blew the whistle, signaling the end of class.
“Think you can run faster than me now that you got fancy new kicks?” Felix started running backward.
I laughed. “Yes.” I sprinted past him.
“Shit,” he said with a laugh as he caught back up to me.
Betrayal - Chapter 25
Monday
Felix and I walked into the cafeteria together. “Save me a seat?” Felix asked. “I want to go talk to Cupcake real quick. But I definitely don’t want to sit at that table.”
