Chapter 37

KATE

July 2017

Minneapolis

“Oh. My. God,” Lily said. “You lost your virginity to a boy your parents haven’t even met. So much for making it special. You’re full of shit, Kate.”

“You don’t understand.”

We were in her room listening to a new Camila Cabello song.

“I understand. He used you. I’ll be surprised if he ever calls you again. Well, he’ll probably call— a booty call and that’s it.”

“You’re wrong.”

“Read this.”

She threw a newspaper at me.

The top article was about a woman who had been raped on campus. Police were looking for a man: maybe Somalian, short dreads.

Sure, it fit Ali, but it could’ve fit a hundred other boys in that part of town. Minneapolis had one of the largest Somalian populations in the country.

Throwing the paper back, I said, “What are you trying to say, Lily?”

“I’m trying to say that the rape happened the night we saw him at the bar. After he stormed off. The rape happened a few blocks away.”

My mouth hung open in shock. How dare she?

I’d felt the anger soar through me and felt my fingers clench into fists. I wanted to punch Lily. For the first time in our friendship I wanted to hurt her.

Instead I stormed out of her house. I saw her dad as I passed. He looked surprised and called my name, but I didn’t stop until I was in my car and driving down the road.

Then I pulled over to the side and punched the steering wheel.

There was no way. Ali didn’t have a violent or criminal bone in his body.

He was gentle and kind and I was half in love with him.

There. I’d admitted it. I was falling for him.
