Chapter Seven

After I’d grabbed my coat from the other room, we headed out to Josh’s car. The nights were humid still, but I hadn’t been brave enough to get in the cab dressed as Catwoman so I’d worn the coat to cover up. This time, I didn’t care. I threw the coat over my arm and owned it. Josh held my hand as we walked along the sidewalk and I felt, for the first time in my life that I had all the confidence in the world. It was like I was a different person—a new me, or at least a stronger, bolder version of myself.

When Josh opened the car door for me to get in, I didn’t want to let go of him because it felt like his hand was the only thing keeping me grounded. But as soon as he’d put the car in drive and set off towards home, he reached for me again. When his fingers linked with mine, I breathed a sigh of relief. His touch had a calming effect and I needed that. I wasn’t nervous exactly, but this was a big deal to me. I took a few deep breaths as I stared out through the passenger window and we shared a few minutes of comfortable silence.

I was still reveling in my unbelievably good luck when something occurred to me and my good mood started to go south. “Everyone in school is going to think you hooked up with Lucy tonight, aren’t they?” I said, the revelation making me suddenly despondent.

Josh groaned. “Don’t remind me. Your disguise was too damn good.”

“The news probably wouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone but Lucy,” I mused.

“Considering she wasn’t there,” Josh added.

I let out a long sigh. “Lucy practically begged me to go to the party so that I could keep an eye on you and make sure you didn’t hook up with anyone.”

“No kidding. Really?”

“Yeah. She even told me to wear her costume so as soon as the rumors reach her, she’ll know it was me you were with.”

“Don’t worry about it.” Josh squeezed my hand reassuringly. “I’ll sort it. I’ll set everyone straight when I see them in school on Monday.”

I nodded, marginally appeased. “What are you going to say?”

He indicated left and after he’d turned onto our road, he looked over at me, his expression open and honest. His shoulder lifted in a half shrug. “I haven’t figured it out. I’ll tell people that we’re together now, I guess.”

I stared at him, unable to hide my surprise. “You’re going to tell everyone about us?” I wasn’t sure how I felt about that. Until about fifteen minutes ago, there was no us. I still couldn’t believe that Josh had feelings for me, let alone that he wanted us to be an actual couple. I needed time to get used to the new development. How would everyone react? Would they be open to seeing us as a couple or would they think it was somehow perverted? Would we become social outcasts?

I worried my bottom lip.
