You Make Me Nervous

“Hey,”Aaronsays,slidingup next to me outside history class.

“Hey, Ace. What’s up?”

“I have a date for this weekend,” he says, grinning at me.

And I’m not sure why, but a pang of jealousy runs through me. Is it because it means less time with him as my best friend? I mean,Idon’t want to date Aaron.

Do I?

No.

I don’t.

Right?

Thankfully, the feeling passes quickly, and I turn my attention back to what we’re talking about.

“Nice, with who?”

“Marisol Jacobs,” he says sheepishly.

“Ooh, she’s pretty. And sweet. Where are you gonna take her?”

“I don’t know. Where do you think I should?”

“What am I? Your Cyrano?”

He rolls his eyes and elbows me. “Fine, see if I ever ask for your help again.”

I laugh out loud. “Please, you’ll be begging for my help with something before the end of the day. You can’t survive without me,” I say playfully, leaning into him.

“You are unfortunately correct about that,” he says with a smile, giving me a little shove.

I open my mouth to tell him about the restaurant that Sarah was fawning over last night, when one of the guys on the baseball team, Davey Edwards, walks over.

Davey is a bit of a player, but in a fairly harmless Barney Stinson kind of way. He’s like a bad boy lite. Like he’s the same bad decision, but with less shitty consequences.

And he iscute.

He’s tall with reddish-brown hair and light brown eyes. He’s got a signature sexy half smile—the kind that makes girls’ panties melt right off.

I mean, not mine.Somegirls.

Because in case I didn’t mention it, he is seriously cute.

He’s thin, but all his muscles are super defined. I only know this because I’ve seen them before when I was watching the boys practice baseball.

There are also some rumors about him. That he’s good in bed. And I know, I of all people, shouldn’t believe the rumors, but he’s definitely confident and has a swagger—whatever. All I’m saying is, I can see wheremaybehe’d be good at that stuff.

Not that I’m thinking of that.

Gosh no.

I’m still a virgin.
