“Are you nervous?” I ask Val, giving her a little nudge with my elbow to grab her attention.

“Is it that obvious?” She laughs as she continues to shuffle from one foot to the other, biting her lower lip and looking into the distance.

I know I should play it cool, but I can’t help it when my gaze slips off hers and fixes on that one spot on her mouth. Since the day Val kissed me, I have become mesmerized by her ruby full lips. Maybe even before then. Before she showed up in my life, I never really gave much thought about girls or their body parts. To me, they were just stupid and annoying. Maybe it’s because I have four older sisters who live to pester me twenty-four seven that I’ve always preferred to stay away from girls in general. I mean, I get enough of them at home as it is.

But Val is different.

There’s just something about her; something that grabs hold of me and won’t let me go, no matter how hard I try. Not that I’ve tried very hard. I like this unexplained feeling I always have when I’m around her. It’s like being on a rollercoaster ride, when your heart palpitates so hard, it feels as if it’s about to leap out of your throat as you ascend. And then when you hit that peak way at the top, you know that what comes next might be frightening, but also exhilarating. Then the cart tips down at full speed, your stomach sinks to the soles of your feet, and you grab onto the rail for dear life, hoping you don’t fall, but you’re excited facing such danger anyway. Being with Val feels like adrenaline is being pumped into my veins, making me strong and weak all at the same time. One minute, I’m scared beyond belief, and the next, I feel like I have super powers. It’s the best way I can explain being around her.

I wipe my hands on my jeans as I stare at her, something that usually happens twenty times a day now, since they always seem to be clammy anytime Val is near. I know she’s excited to start school today, but a huge part of me wishes we still had our summer days back. Every day since she arrived, the guys and I spent each and every moment we could with her. Even Carter, who lives to be locked up in his room, came out to spend time with us. That’s how magical Val is. She’s even caught his attention, and we all know how much Carter hates people in general.

“I have to say I have never seen someone so anxious to ride a school bus before.” I chuckle, trying to coax Val out of her anxious state.

“Oh God. I must look pathetic to you, huh?”

“It’s cute you’re excited.”

“Are you making fun of me?” She cocks a brow with a playful smile.

“I wouldn’t dream of it. Your dad would
