RJ and Liam walked over too.

“I can’t believe it’s not Leo,” Liam said. “RJ literally saw him.”

“Well your sister is a huge slut and hooked up with two different guys,” I said.

“Scar.” He gave me a sympathetic look.

“It’s true.”

“It’s not,” he said.

I wished it wasn’t. A couple months ago, I’d never been kissed. And now I was basically a ho. But it was nice that Liam didn’t think I was. I was starting to get used to Liam being sweet to me. I liked this a lot more than him throwing me under the bus. “Thank you for last night, by the way. When dad asked what hooking up meant, you probably saved me from being grounded by not telling him.”

Liam laughed. “Well, if I’m being honest. My first thought was to tell him that hooking up meant butt stuff.”

“What?”

“And to not worry because at least you wouldn’t get pregnant.”

I opened my mouth and closed it again. That sounded much more like Liam. “Well thanks for not saying any of that.”

“No problem. I didn’t want Dad to have a heart attack.”

I shook my head.

The four of us reached Leo. He was sitting down and luckily the rest of his table was still in line.

He was about to take a bite of his burger when he saw us. He slowly lowered it back to his tray. “What are you wearing?” he asked me.

“You’re not the one asking questions here. I am. Are you my kiss thief?”

“You like to call me that sometimes,” he said with a smile.

“Stop messing with my head. Have you been texting me?”

“Scarlett, you told me to use my phone less. I’ve been taking that seriously.”

Crap, I’d forgotten about that. “And why aren’t you calling me baby?”

“Sorry, baby.”

I shook my head. “What is happening?”

Sophie stepped forward. “Why did you tell RJ that you were Scarlett’s kiss thief?”

“Because he asked me if I stole a kiss in the bathroom at homecoming and I had.”

“But what other kisses did you steal?”

Leo looked confused. “I only like Scarlett.”

“Why is this conversation so confusing?” Sophie asked.

“That’s what I’m saying!” I said.

“I don’t know what’s happening right now,” Leo said.

“Are you my sister’s kiss thief or not?” Liam said.
