9. The Music Makes Me Sway
Caleb took her to a bar named Nicky's. Sarah had been a little worried at first that they wouldn't be able to get in—they were underage after all—but the place was filled with classmates from Spenser. "Teen night," Caleb told her as he guided her through the crowd to where Kate and Chase were already sitting.
The look Kate gave her when Sarah sat down was easy enough to read—her roommate wanted to know absolutely everything about her day with Caleb as soon as they got back to the dorms. Sarah was a little curious about Kate's afternoon with Chase herself. The new boy looked up from his menu to give her a smile in greeting as she shrugged out of her jacket. He and Kate had looked like they'd been flirting pretty heavily before she and Caleb joined them.
Then Pogue showed up, and the air fairly crackled with unspoken jealousy that only dissipated when Caleb and Chase started up a rowdy game of Foosball and Pogue wandered over to join Reid and Tyler at the pool table. Unfortunately, that left her feeling alone and left out at the table.
She'd been playing the sweet girl all day, and looking at Kate, she suddenly had the feeling that it was going to take more than sweet to hold on to one of the Sons of Ipswich. So…a quarter in the jukebox and she was shaking her stuff, dragging Caleb out onto the itty-bitty dance floor with her. As they danced, she watched his eyes—she still couldn't tell if he was enjoying this or merely humoring her. He certainly wasn't giving her his full attention, not even when she swayed in close to him, her breasts brushing against his chest and her hips grinding into his.
Inscrutable. An SAT word but she'd found a real life example of it, and she wasn't sure she was happy about that.
