Why this must be read:

Thirteen won. This one is set after 4.9, and features a fabulous Amber: unhappy, angry, trying *so* hard not to care. And, of course, hating Thirteen.

"Could be that I just like being a bitch." And maybe that's true. Maybe it's all just about notches in the bedpost, scars across her heart, titles won and lost in every right and wrong answer. If you never let them know you keep track and still care, they can't hurt you where it counts.

"Sure. I'll buy that." Thirteen quirks up the side of her mouth, half-smiling. "You know I'm kind of going to miss you."

"Aw, really?" She cocks her head to the side, making as condescending a pouting face as she can. "You think we could've grown into the bestest friends?"

"I think we could have been bestest enemies," Thirteen says.

I love this pairing, and this story captures it in its fabulous, hatesex glory.
