Tenn rolled his eyes. “Right, like I wouldn’t have known.”

Cooper groaned “Dude.”

“There’s other stuff!” Tegan yelled, her cheeks flushed.

Hunter closed his eyes and covered his ears with his hands, which made Bentley chuckle.

Tenn nodded over and over and put his hands on his hips. “Like going as Braison’s date in the sluttiest outfit I’d ever seen to the Halloween dance? Or a sexy tango with Deacon in front of the whole school? Or maybe when you told Silas his name was hot and gave him that appreciative nod that insinuated the name fit the face? Or when you told Yaluk I wasn’t technically your boyfriend? Or when you let Everest bite you? You mean like those things?”

Tegan pointed to him. “See, see, see!? I could’ve lied for like a second and pretended I had some hot ex-boyfriend I used to hook up with on lifeguard stands⁠—”

“Why does she know that?” Libby sat up straight, her eyes alarmed, but Tegan hadn’t heard her and continued.

“—Just to make you feel this really weird feeling I am feeling right now.” Tegan gestured to her whole body, which was when I noticed her normally pink soulmate glyph was now bright, pulsing magenta. “I bet Silas would’ve played along. He seems bored.”

Tenn flushed. “What is wrong with you right now? What part of anything that’s happened since we met makes you jealous about Libby?”

“I don’t know. I’m sixteen. This is very confusing!”

Tim snorted. Hunter sighed and hung his head.

Tegan held both hands up. “I am very, very relieved one of your best friends is back from the dead because I know how much her death killed you, and yet the second she’s standing here in Headquarters, all I can think about is that fucking lifeguard stand.”

Tim looked to Libby and grimaced. “That one’s my bad.”

Libby just grinned.

Braison shook his head and pointed across the room with a fried chicken. “No, I think Coop gets the blame for that. He’s the reason it came up.”

Tenn just stared at his soulmate and shook his head, his cheeks flushed. That soulmate glyph was a bright magenta still.

Constance cleared her throat. “Libby, perhaps you’d like to help out here?”

Libby nodded. “It was pretty hot.”

“LIBBY!” at least a dozen people shouted in perfect unison.

She giggled. “Sorry, sorry, old habits die hard. Look, Tegan isn’t actually jealous of me. I do think she’s considering taking him to a lifeguard stand right now to even the score.”

Tegan pointed to Libby and leaned back. “See? She gets it.”

Libby arched an eyebrow back at her. “And I do think you messed up by telling him the truth about your previous sexual encounters. I would’ve helped you torture him. We still can try.”
