“This guy has been constantly hitting on me since the moment we met and I just don’t know what to do about it. I think he’s trying to lead me on, but that sad thing is that I’m letting him. I mean earlier this morning, we almost—” I faltered, turning red.
“Had sex?” Kelsey inserted, which only caused me to heat up even more.
“No! Kissed.” She scoffed and I shot her another withering glare.
“My advice to you is to get it over with and kiss him. If he’s leading you on, then you’ll know. I mean isn’t there some song about knowing a guy is in love in his kiss or something? Of course . . . that song was written before guys learned that they could screw any girl they wanted to with a well-placed word, so who knows if your guy loves you or is just looking to get some.”
“Cut it with the sex references please,” I begged. I mean, she was only fifteen after all. She couldn’t even drive. But then again . . . neither could I. I hated being on this stupid bus. “Besides, it’s more complicated then whether or not to kiss him. I don’t even know the guy.”
“You mean, because you just met him? It’s Josh isn’t it? That guy is head-over-heels for you. Don’t worry. Besides, the two of you look so cute together.”
“It’s not Josh. And you better not tell anybody I’ve been talking to you about this either.”
“So you have two guys then?” She asked.
“No. I have no guys.”
“And what do you mean you don’t know this guy?”
“I mean, I literally don’t know him. I don’t even know his name.” I figured it’d be a bit too obvious if I told her I’ve never seen his face either. As it was, I didn’t know why I was pouring my heart out to this girl, other than the fact that all these emotions were boiling inside of me and I had to let it out somehow.
“Ooo, kinky. How’d you meet?”
Now that one would be really hard to explain. “It doesn’t really matter. Look, just forget I said anything. There is so many details that I can’t even begin to explain and considering you just told me that a kiss will prove that he either doesn’t love me or that he’s trying to—” How sad was it that I couldn’t even form the words. “I believe it’s safe to say that I should stay as far away from him as possible.”
“As if!” She scoffed. “You’re young. You’re free. These are the best days of your life. Don’t waste them away be letting hot, mysterious men disappear—he is hot right?” I nodded my head. I wasn’t positive of course, but he had a nice voice, great hands, and the most intoxicating smell. That alone spelled gorgeous to me. “It’s like all those stupid romance movies where two people fall in love but they don’t do anything about it. Then they find each other like ten years later and realize it’s too late. Or maybe it’s not too late, but still, they wasted ten of their most primeval years being apart.”
“I don’t think that primeval was the word you were looking for.”
“Whatever. The point is, Addie—”
“Don’t call me that!” I interrupted.
“Why not??”
“Because he calls me that.” I couldn’t believe I just admitted that out loud. “Besides.” I tacked on. “I hate nicknames.”
