Kendra Sizes Up 'Lila' The Remote of Transformation chapter 17 by ThePanswapticon

Of course, trouble showed up in the form of Kendra Walker—queen bee, perfect hair, that too-tight cheer skirt she wore like a weapon. She stopped dead in front of Ethan’s table, chewing her gum with a pop, and gave 'Lila' a slow, lethal once-over.

“Who’s this?” Kendra asked Marcus, her tone sharp.

Marcus grinned, all fake casual. “Oh, uh, this is… uh, Lila. She’s, uh, helping with our project.”

“Lila?” Kendra’s brows shot up. Her gaze raked Ethan’s body again. “Like, the model? Lila Hart?” She smirked. “Wow. You wish.”

Ethan felt his face heat up. His brain scrambled for words, but his voice—soft, smooth, so not his own—slipped out: “It’s just Lila.”

Kendra’s gaze lingered on his chest, which he immediately crossed his arms over.

“Well.” She tilted her head, gum popping again. “Guess I don’t have to wonder who’s trying to steal my spotlight this year. Slut.” Her flounce was practically weaponized as she turned on her heel, hair swinging like a middle finger.

Ethan dropped his head on the table. “Kill me. Right now. Just… bludgeon me with the Morphisizer.”
