Jason: I covered for you, Juliet. You can’t tell Mom. Not now. It would kill her.

I show the text to Kale.

I’m glad Jason agrees. I absolutely can’t tell my mom.

8 p.m.

Go bowling.

Miranda, Jason, Kale, and I are at the bowling alley, putting on ugly shoes. Kale is typing our names into the computer. Miranda and I already had our ‘hold each other and cry’ moment, and now we’ve decided to have fun.

“So, my sister’s friend, Kate, teaches a yoga class,” Miranda tells me. “Jason told me a few things on your list. I thought you and I could go in the morning. I mean, it’s on the other side of the city and it starts at 7 a.m., but it could be fun. I’ve always wanted to try yoga.”

Miranda is the definition of athletic. In school she ran track and played soccer. She skis the mountains that Jason and Kale aren’t advanced enough to ski. She is one of the best swimmers I’ve ever met. Like, we decided to swim across the lake once. I made it to the other side, about five minutes after her, and halfway back I had to stop. She swam all the way back to shore. Afterwards, she raced Jason across. I mean, this girl is fit. I try to picture her doing yoga, but I can’t.

“You’re going to do yoga?” I ask.

“Yeah. Yoga can get pretty intense,” she says. “But we will go to a beginners’ class.”

“Good, because my idea of a work out is texting or lifting food into my mouth,” I say.

She laughs.

But she doesn’t deny, because she knows it’s the truth.

“Speaking of phones, you haven’t had yours out all night,” she comments.

It’s weird for me to not be on my phone. I’m usually checking Twitter, checking YouTube, checking Instagram, Snapchat, or any of the other social media platforms that I use.

“Yeah. I spent so much time building up my career that I never took time to enjoy myself. I’m realizing now that I can have a career and have a life. Unfortunately, it’s a little bit too late,” I say. “Kale has been helping me so much. He edits all my vlogs now.”

We walk over to pick out a ball.

I find the lightest one that is pink.

“Seven pounds. Perfect,” I say.

Miranda laughs and picks up a sixteen pound ball.

See, athletic.

We walk back over to our lane. Kale and Jason are both picking out balls. I can only assume this whole outing is going to turn into a big competition between the two of them, because it always does.

“Oh, God. I can feel the testosterone in the air,” Miranda says, as the two of them walk back over.

“I can smell it,” I say, waving a hand in front of my face.

“Actually, that’s the people behind us,” she says, leaning closer. “They’re drunk.”

I look behind us and see that she is right. One of the guys actually ends up falling down on the way to the lane.

“That’s definitely going to hurt in the morning,” I say.
