QUOTE : Walking to Cooper, I asked, “Are you taking me home now?” <br />Cooper took the beer from my hand. “There’s pizza in the kitchen. Are you hungry?” <br />“I’d like to go home.” <br />“Maybe your boyfriend can take you,” he said, glaring at Nick who ignored him. <br />“Is that your way of saying you won’t take me?” <br />Cooper finally pulled his gaze away from Nick and focused it on me. “Who gave you this drink?” <br />“I don’t know. Some guy.” <br />“Your boyfriend?” <br />“No, some guy.” <br />“Did you drink it?” <br />“I’m eighteen and it’s illegal for me to drink alcohol.” <br />Cooper laughed. “You’re kidding, right?” <br />“No,” I said, crossing my arms. “I take the law very seriously.” <br />“Nerd.” <br />Laughing, I tightened my arms and studied him. “Did someone mess with the drink? Like a roofie?” <br />“Maybe. These guys are idiots. Always fucking with stupid freshmen girls because you bitches don’t know any better,” Cooper said, his gaze locking onto someone behind me. I turned to find the guy who handed me the beer now standing near the door with his friends. “Should I drink this shit?” Cooper hollered at the guy. “Huh, asshole? What happens if I drink it?” <br />When Cooper lifted the beer to his lips, the guy looked ready to run. Only a second passed before the beer went flying and smashed against the guy’s head.
