Avery's half smile pulled up a smile just for him in return, and she bumped his knee with hers under the table. At least he and Rosario were pleased to see her. "So, a coupla days after the party I messaged Savannah, to see how Ricky was doing. Ricky's the one who broke his arm," she added, to remind Rosario. "And I don't hear a thing back, at all. Couple days after that, she posts this video, Ricky jamming on guitar, like, fucking nailing it. I comment on that, and nothing. Sav usually replies to everything. So, I message Hailey, cos, she chatty. She was the one, uuh, in the silver bra, you met her," she said for Avery's benefit, and then for Rosario's: "She was the one whose dad doesn't own a golf course. She's really sweet, honestly, but she don't reply either. Like, no one will talk to me, since that night. So I saw Hales, and asked her what was going on, and she— sorry, Aves— she said it was cuz I'd spent the whole night at that party running around with you. Says Xander's told her all about you, and if I'm gonna be believing the things you say, then I can just—" she swallowed, uncomfortably, pulling her foot up onto the chair to wrap her arms round her knee, "—fuck off too. So much for unbreakable bathroom bonds."
