“Oh my God, stop scratching. You’ve had that thing on for a week; it can’t itch that bad.”
I pause in running my nails down the side of my leg brace to glare at my best friend, Clutch. Her real name is Angelica Flores but she only answers to Angie or Clutch. No one calls her Angelica unless they’re looking for a fight.
“Why don’t you mind your business, Angelica?” I even make sure to pronounce the g as an h, the way her Honduran mama would. She narrows her eyes at me, but she must see the vulnerability I’m trying to hide in my gaze because she dismisses me with a small chuckle. Damn, I was really counting on that fight.
“She still scratching that thing? Somebody’s nervous.” I turn my glare onto Justine who ignores me to dive into the deep end of her and Angie’s pool. She and Angie are the only true family I have, besides Kai’s Aunt Patrice, so while I don’t appreciate them giving me shit, I know it’s out of love.
