"I don't think like that anymore," I said, trying to defend myself.
"Yes. Amen!" Elio said. "I pray to the goddess that you don't. If Mom was alive, she would smack you in the head because all you think is shit and shit and shit. Give yourself a little credit."
"Kasteil is hot and you're hot, so of course a hot alpha would be interested in a very hot omega," Elio said. "But no, you would never think that. Wrong. You refused to think that way."
"Why be positive when you could be negative?" He rolled his eyes.
I couldn't say anything. I just shut my mouth and listened to him. Why? Because he wasn't exactly wrong. No one puts me down as much as I put down myself. No one is more negative to me than I am. I think the people around me are really positive. I am the negative one. The thought settled heavily in my chest, a familiar weight.
"I should have known when he was giving you those eyes," Elio said.
"Huh?" I looked at him confused. What was he talking about?
