THE REST OF THE MORNING, two girls offer to share their notes with me, three tell me they love my outfit, and some dude picks up my pen for me when I accidentally drop it. This is a big step up from my previous status, which was the human equivalent of packing peanuts and three a.m. infomercials. You know, just taking up space.

Before I know it, it’s lunch. Time to see Wish again. As I navigate away from my locker, I see a row of couples engaged in PDA. This isn’t something I noticed before, maybe because I steered clear of that stuff. Now I can’t stop looking. Something tells me that if Erica were going out with Wish, she’d be all over him. Maybe I should run up to him and surprise him with a big first wet one, the stuff of movie legends, so romantic and heart-stopping that he pulls away from me, breathless, and says, “Wow. Gwen, never leave me.”

Instead, the first thing I do when I see him, standing at the A-list table with his Phillies cap on backward and a french fry crammed between his lips like a cigarette, is blush. Then he turns and notices me, and a slow smile spreads on his face as he sucks the last of the fry into his mouth. Somehow he manages to do this and still look sexy. So the heat on my cheeks, which was mild before, gets cranked up so high that I think steam starts coming off them. Everything in my line of vision gets fuzzy.

It’s not like I didn’t know he was beautiful and hot and something that the girls would go crazy for. But now that I’ve seen him topping every one of Erica’s lists, the whole “acting confident until you are” I’ve been trying to do seems pretty freaking impossible. It’s one thing to talk sex with Erica and the girls, but another thing entirely to perform. If I ran up to kiss him, we’d most likely end up bonking heads.

“Hey,” he says as I near him. “You want something up at the line? My treat.”

Food is the last thing on my mind, obviously, because I can’t get the conversation with the girls out of my head. What, exactly, makes Wish’s butt the object of such enthusiasm? He’s half turned toward me, so I have to crane my neck at a rather unnatural angle to see it, and then, suddenly—

“Hello?” My eyes trail upward, to Wish’s questioning face. “What are you doing?”

I shrug, innocent.

“Want something at the line?”

I shake my head, and I see Erica throw her books down on the table beside me. I wonder what she would do at a moment like this, but it doesn’t take long to know the answer. Wish starts digging into his pockets for change. He’s close to me, thus so is his backside. Now would be the perfect time to do it. Now. Right now. And it’s like I can’t control myself. As
