bad.”
“Thank you, except it can.” I get up from the table and go to walk off , but he pulls me back and into his lap.
“Hey, what are you doing?” I ask kind of panicked because I know people can see me sitting in his lap.
“I just wanted to touch you some more before I let you go.” I blush because of his words , but decide I’m sick of him always getting the last laugh, so I decide to play along.
“Oh, well in that case … ” I put my arms around his neck and give him a kiss.
“That’s what I’m talking about , ” h e says. It doesn’t matter what I do or say, he’s always ready for me. I can never out do him.
I laugh at him and say , “ W hatever , ” as I walk away.
The rest of the day passes quickly. I had two tests that I had been studying for and between that and my basketball game I didn’t really have time to think about anything else. I told Cash last hour that I was going straight home today because I had a lot to do.
“I’ll see you tonight, be careful , ” he sa id as he left me in the hallway.
“You too , ” I told him walking back to my locker. When I got there , I saw Jessica down the hallway.
“Jess!” I yelled so she could hear me.
“Hey Mil, what’s up?”
“A lot , actually . ” I crossed my arms.
“Okay, why are you looking at me like that? ” She asked .
“Jess, um m , I, look , I’m just gonna come at you straight with this on e , ok ay ?”
“Alright.”
“Are you and Jake together?”
She looke d at me and immediately I knew the answer. “Millie, I don’t know why you think that. Jake and I have nothing in common.”
“Jess, I know you’re seeing him, I can tell.”
She looked around and then back at me. “Can you keep a secret?” I nodded. “Well, we’ve kind of been seeing each other for like a month or so.”
“Oh , my gosh! Are you serious? When, how?”
“Well, it just kind of happened.”
“ Jess, you ’ r e gonna have to do better than that. Details, I want details!”
“Okay, it was before school started. I spent the night with Cara and I had just gotten out of the shower and I realized I hadn’t brought my clothes in the bathroom. So, I opened the door and peeked out to make sure no one was out there. Right as I peeked out , Jake came around the corner. He asked me what I was doing and I told him I forgot my clothes. So , I was standing there in just a towel and we both just stared at each other for a couple of minutes. He told me to hang on and went to his bedroom and got me some shorts and a T-shirt . I told him thank you and before I could get anything else out , he kissed me.
“Oh , my gosh! Right there in the hallway, with Cara and their folks there?”
“ Yup, Millie it freakin g rocked! At first, I was like, no , no , no. I kept thinking what is he doing? But then , I relaxed and the kiss was just…amazing.”
“What did he say after?”
“Well, I broke the kiss and after I came back to reality, I realized where I was and that I was standing there naked with nothing but a towel, I kind of freaked out a bit. I didn’t say anything because I mean, this is Cara’s brother, you know? So anyway, he stood there with his arms around me and said, “I have wanted to do that for a couple of years.”
“Wow, Jess, I can’t believe it!”
“I know , me either.”
“Okay, so what’s the problem? Why can’t anyone know? Are you guys just messing around, do you not think it will last long?”
“No, of course not. He’s being ver y
