"So, what's your story Abel?"

He blew smoke out of his mouth, shrugging as his eyes settled on Iris. They had gotten comfortable standing or sitting at the Alpha frat house. Landon had long gone went inside, which left everyone but Camari and Kingsley outside until he was finished.

Evan had a blunt to light and a bit of snacks to share. So while the ladies ate half of the snacks, Abel, Evan, and Steven passed the blunt back and forth between them.

"I don't have one." He mumbled, holding the blunt out to Coiline. She smiled softly and shook her head.

"Oh, come on pretty boy!" Nailee slapped her thigh. "Surely there's something to tell!"

"Y'all ask too many questions." Evan shook his head.

"Seems like you're jealous too," Nailee teased. "You're not the only pretty boy in the group, so you're upset about the attention not being on you?"

Evan laughed. "I'm not worried! Unlike Lucky." Iris playfully rolled her eyes. "All I'm saying is, you guys are too nosey. Look at him!" Iris and Nailee glanced at Abel, who stood there trying not to laugh a bit. "He's clearly chillin', and is not trying to talk. So let him be."

Iris and Nailee stared at Evan for a few seconds before waving him off. "Anyway," Nailee rolled her eyes. "I hear an accent in your voice" Abel took the blunt again. "Canadian? Or Australian?"

"He's definitely not Australian," Coiline snickered beside him.

"And how would you know? He talks to you?"

"Um, duh!" She smacked her lips. "I gave him a tour around campus, remember?"

"Whatever." Nailee settled her eyes back on Abel. "So? Which one?"

"Canadian," Abel gently scratched his eyes. The smoke from the joint was starting to irritate them.

"Wow. So what the hell are you doing all the way in the South?"

He shrugged. "Fresh start, I guess."

Nailee hummed.

"You know Canada has the shittiest school system," Steven chirped from beside Aura. They sat closely together with textbooks sprawled out on their laps. Abel noticed that she wasn't much of a talker as well. "If I lived there, I'd move too."

"Is that true?" Coiline asked. Abel could feel her eyes on him. He nodded. "That's fucked up."

He couldn't help but chuckle. "It is."

"Oop, I see what Lucky was bitchin' about," Iris laid her head against her fist. "I smell an entanglement coming soon."

Coiline rolled her eyes. "It's not like that! Stop being so messy!"
