21. Snatch Her

Ryder

I can't believe it. Ivy dares to reject me? ME?

Who does she think she is?

I left her alone for now, but I won't let her get away with it. And I need to find out who this asshole Pheonix is.

Hotter than me? Pfft...

"What got you all pissed off?" Sirius asks me after we finish our training.

"Who says I'm pissed off?" I counter.

Sirius raises an eyebrow at me, clearly not buying my nonchalant tone. "Well, for starters, your fists are clenched, and your face looks like you just ate something sour," he observes.

I sigh heavily and lean back against the wall, crossing my arms over my chest. "It's Ivy," I mutter. "She said she doesn't want to go to the Lunar Ball with me. Can you believe that?"

Sirius lets out a low whistle. "Isn't that a good thing?"

"I don't understand it," I say, ignoring his question. "I mean, who does she think she is? Thinking she's too good for me?"
