Knowing he wouldn't get a response from you until you finished school, Hughie slid his phone back in his pocket and retrained his attention on the mind-numbingly dal conversation happening around him which consisted of girls, girls, and more girls. Blonds. Brunettes. Redheads. Tall girls. Short girls. Girls with small tits. Girls with big tits. Girls that looked like grown women. Girls that were off limits.

Jesus Christ, it was exhausting listening to them.

"But you would if you could get away with it, wouldn't you?" Lukey asked, directing his question at Hughie.

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Hughie gave Lukey his attention. “Would I what?”

"Score with another girl?"

"No."

"You have to answer honestly, Biggsie."

"I did,” He deadpanned. "And it's still no."

"I saw that girl in Irish trying to talk to ya."

"Yeah, I saw her, too."

"Jesus, she was a bit of all right that one."

"She was hanging off his every word."

"She asked me for a pen."

"And your number. I heard her."

"Did ya give it to her, lad?"

"That would be another no."

"Aw; come on, Biggsie,” Several of the lads chorused. "She was hanging off ya in class."

"Lad, that girl was stunning."

"Too right."

"Jesus, she can have my number if she wants it.”

"Don't bother with Biggsie, lads. Hes sworn off all the talent at school,” Pierce guffawed. "Because he's in love."

"Why don't you shoot your shot with her," Hughie challenged, locking eyes on the dopey bollocks in front of him. "Or are you too much of a pussy to actually walk up to a girl and speak to her?"

"I'm not interested in your sloppy seconds, lad," Pierce laughed. “Although, I would absolutely make an exception for that girlfriend of yours.”

Waggling his brows, Pierce teased, "Be sure to pass her over when you're done."

"Oh my Jesus, you shouldn't have said that," Feely groaned, dropping his head in his hands.

"You really shouldn't have said that, lad," Robbie Mac added grimly. "Bad form.”

"Yeah." Roughly shoving his chair back, Hughie jerked to his feet and moved for Pierce. “You really shouldn't have said that, asshole."
