schoolwork all morning long. All she can think about when she looks at her teacher is the … what-it-is that’s going on between her and Mr. Emerson. It is adorable, but also unnerving! She wants her teachers to be happy (especially Ms. Perez), and she thinks it would be great if they got married and had kids and—ooo!—named their baby girl Yasaman. They should, after all, given the role Yaz has played in their romance.

But then, on the other hand, the romance aspect of it all freaks her out. It is so real, and grown-up-ish, and involves actual love letters that Yasaman has actually read. She is not sure she is ready to know about a grownup romance. She might even be sure she’s not. Except that it’s exciting, and anyway, it’s too late, because she already does know and there’s no going back.

It makes it difficult to concentrate on her vocabulary quiz. And her multiplication facts and everything.

Hottie-with-a-body, she thinks. Magical evenings. Bonus kisses. Aaagh! Yaz doesn’t know how to put away all of this thrilling-slash-disturbing knowledge she accidentally learned. Except she didn’t “accidentally” learn it at all, did she?

She doesn’t know what to do with that piece of the puzzle, either.

She wasn’t lying yesterday when she said that everyone in the whole wide world has secrets. Just, some secrets are too big to hold in, and Yaz is fairly sure she’ll explode if she has to keep the contents of Ms. Perez and Mr. Emerson’s note to herself for much longer. She wanted to tell her flower friends about the notes, but she felt like she shouldn’t. Like it would be a betrayal of her teachers’ privacy. But maybe Ms. Perez and Mr. Emerson shouldn’t have been passing notes during school, anyway. Did they think of that? And maybe they shouldn’t have asked Yasaman to be their delivery girl, either. Did they think of that???

The bottom line is that yes, Yaz is happy that Mr. Emerson and Ms. Perez—or John and Maria—are, ah, getting along so well. But knowing about their study dates and their nachos, and especially about their kissing (!!!), is waaaaaay more stressful than Yaz could have imagined, so when Ms. Perez releases the class for morning break, Yaz is up and out of her desk like a bullet.

Yaz worms past Natalia and Chance and Preston, and she reaches the door that leads to the playground before any of them.

“Yaz?” she hears through the muzzy-buzzing of her thoughts. It’s Katie-Rose. She’s probably wondering why her friend has suddenly turned into an Olympic-class sprinter. “Yaz?!”

Yaz could stop running and let Katie-Rose catch up with her and spill everything to Katie-Rose right now, even though Katie-Rose would gag and make vomit noises and be totally horrified that two teachers are acting so lovey-dovey. But the cold air is a tonic to Yasaman’s flushed skin. Her muscles burn as she sprints down the field, and it feels good. Her lungs are tight, and her heart thumps against her ribcage, and oh, that’s good, too, because it leaves nothing left for thinking.
