The Tracker Hive Academy Year One - Avery Song Page 0,80

few taps, the phone went to speaker and rang once before Zeke spoke.

"Let me guess. You guys fell for Zackery's prank?"

"I want to kill you," Zeus growled.

"I'm masturbating right now. Can you kill me later?"

"Hi, Zeke," I chimed in. "Are you masturbating about me?"

"Everyday, baby," Zeke replied. "Come over."

"Oka—"

"Nope," Zeus interrupted. "You get her next week."

"Jelly." Zeke chuckled. "If you stopped masturbating each time you came home and made an actual move instead, you wouldn't be—"

Zeus hung up on him.

I stared at his phone and then up at him. "Wrong number?"

"He has Zackery's phone. Asshole," Zeus grumbled and clicked Zion's contact. The phone rang three times before he picked up.

"What's up, Zeus?"

"Why does Zeke have Zackery's phone?"

"Hm? Hey, Zackery? Why does Zeke have your phone?"

"He took it this morning. You know he likes switching our phones all the time. Why? Did Zeus get soaked by the trap I set up?"

"Trap? I thought you said you needed the water spell to ward off anyone trying to tamper with Jade's locker until she got the combination?" Zion questioned.

"Yes, but we installed it on Zeus's locker."

"No, we didn't," Zion blatantly pointed out.

"Yes, we did. Zeus’s locker was the empty one."

"Zeus’s locker is always empty because he never uses it. He only started to because it's the perfect excuse to walk with Jade and make out with her," Zion brushed off.

I glanced at Zeus, noticing his red cheeks as he gritted his teeth in frustration.

"Tell Zackery he's a fucking idiot and I'm going to flood his damn room," Zeus barked. "Also, your watch is waterproof. Still works after the fucking flood that came out of Jade's locker."

"Shit. You guys got drenched? Zackery," Zion called out. "You're an idiot!"

"Now you're angry?" Zeus groaned.

"Duh. Now everyone but me gets to see Jade all wet like that. Jade? Can we get a picture? I'm sure we'd use it wisely."

"I take it back. All three of you are idiots," Zeus complained. "I'm hanging up."

He didn't wait for them to reply, disconnecting the call and giving me an up-and-down look. "You have a change of clothes?"

"Yup. In my gym locker. I'll go change."

He reached out to stop me, the two of us staring into each other's eyes again. He didn't need to say anything for me to feel what was going on.

"You want a picture, don't you?"

He didn't say anything at first but pulled me closer. "Thunder doesn't do well with water."

"Neither does fire, but you're still holding me," I teased, going on my tiptoes to kiss him.

The mere touch was like sparks, and we pulled back.

"Shock-inducing.” I giggled. "Have you ever made out with someone in the shower?"

"Do you have a death wish?" he inquired.

"Maybe." I winked. "Are you going to take a picture?"

"Only if I get to print it," he mumbled, his cheeks growing red.

I looked both ways to make sure no one else was in the hall, then moved to the opposite side of the lockers to pose for him.

The way his eyes took every inch of me in made me a little daring. As he began the little photoshoot with his phone, I lifted my white tank top up to beneath my breasts.

I could see my provocative behavior was working its charm on Zeus. When he paused in taking pictures, I walked back to him.

My hands landed on his drenched white T-shirt and slowly slid upward till they were on his shoulders.

"I want a picture of us kissing," I said innocently.

"I'll shock you again."

"It didn't hurt," I noted. "We just can't make a blackout happen this time."

His eyes proved he was considering it, glancing down to my lips and watching me slowly lick them in anticipation.

"I swear, I hate you," he growled under his breath, slamming my lips with his. His arm hooked around my waist, pulling me against him as we deepened the electrifying kiss.

Water and thunder were not good to combine, especially when we were both drenched, but how could I resist how fucking hot he looked all soaked like this?

I could tell he was taking pictures from the snap of the phone in his free hand, but we didn't pull away until the lights in the hall momentarily went off.

"We should continue this elsewhere."

"Come over."

"Really?" I grinned. "I don't think you want me getting lost in Zackery's room."

He smirked. "I have my own place."

"In this district?"

"Yup. Temporary one. The others didn't want to invest in one seeing as theirs are in different main locations in our district. I figured having a simple
