Lissa frowned. "Because she was jealous about me and Aaron—”
"More to it than that, Princess. What did she have to be jealous about? She already had him.
She didn't need to attack you to drive that home. She could have just made a big show of being
all over him. Sort of like you are now," he added wryly.
"Okay. What else is there, then? Why did she want to ruin my life? I never did anything to
her—before all this, I mean.”
He leaned forward, crystal-blue eyes boring into hers.
"You're right. You didn't—but your brother did.”
Lissa pulled away from him. "You don't know anything about my brother.”
"I know he screwed Mia over. Literally.”
"Stop it, stop lying.”
"I'm not. Swear to God or whoever else you want to believe in. I used to talk to Mia now and
then, back when she was a freshman. She wasn't very popular, but she was smart. Still is. She
used to work on a lot of committees with royals— dances and stuff. I don't know all of it. But
she got to know your brother on one of those, and they sort of got together.”
"They did not. I would have known. Andre would have told me.”
"Nope. He didn't tell anyone. He told her not to either. He convinced her it should be some kind
of romantic secret when really, he just didn't want any of his friends to find out he was getting
naked with a non-royal freshman.”
"If Mia told you that, she was making it up," exclaimed Lissa.
"Yeah, well, I don't think she was making it up when I saw her crying. He got tired of her after
a few weeks and dumped her. Told her she was too young and that he couldn't really get serious
with someone who wasn't from a good family. From what I understand, he wasn't even nice
about it either—didn't even bother with the 'let's be friends' stuff.”
