My mother heard me slamming doors and came to check on me in my room. “Julianna! What’s wrong?”
I flipped over on my bed to face her and wailed, “I am so confused! I don’t know what to think or feel or do…!”
She sat down beside me on the bed and stroked my hair. “Tell me what happened, sweetheart.”
I hesitated, then threw my hands up in the air. “He tried to kiss me!”
My mother struggled not to let it show, but underneath her composed expression was a growing smile.
She leaned in a little and asked, “Who did?” “Bryce!” She hesitated. “But you’ve always liked him….”
The doorbell rang. And rang again. My mom started to get up, but I grabbed her arm and said, “Don’t get that!”
The bell rang again, and almost right after that there was a loud knocking at the door.
Mom, please! Don’t get it. That’s probably him!” “But sweetheart… ”
I was over him! Completely over him!” “Since when?”
Since last Friday. After the dinner. If he had vanished from the face of the earth after our dinner at the Loskis’, I wouldn’t have cared!”
