ELEVEN

STAY

Climbing the steps to Joel’s front porch, I’m approaching basket case status. At only seven, it’s already midnight black—thanks, winter—which adds to my jumpiness. But mostly, it’s my thoughts that are poking and provoking me. Joel wants to draw me. He likes to make out. And his mom will be gone all night long.

I twist the bracelet on my wrist, hearing Gram tell me to take a belly breath to calm down. I put my right hand on my stomach and inhale, then quickly rip my hand away when the front door opens. Joel’s half smiling in a black T-shirt and jeans, sock footed and scruffy. He pretty much looks exactly how I picture him in daydreams.

“Ready to be immortalized?” he asks.

“As long as you’re not planning to bite my neck.”

He looks at me funny as he shifts in the doorway. Then, “I can’t promise anything.”
