Jared called that night. The first thing he said was “My brother’s going to give me kissing lessons tomorrow. He already told me the Five Rules of Kissing.”

“What are they?”

“You’ll see.”

“Come on. Tell.”

“No. I’ll tell you after we try them out. Could we do it after school on Wednesday? That’ll give me time to practice.”

Try out kissing? That meant kissing. You couldn’t try it out without doing it. My heart started pounding, three days ahead of time. “Okay.”

“Good. What did your family think of the caricatures?”

“Maud—she’s my older sister—thinks we’re crazy. She said I should bury them in Central Park, six feet down and under a boulder.”

“What did your parents think?”

“My mom wants to get a wallet-size one of me to carry around with her.”

“How about your dad?”

“They’re divorced. What about your family?”

“Dad says I have good taste in girls.”

“What did your brother say?”

“Which one? My older brother, Brad, said he wished he knew a girl like you. Andy—he’s five—started to cry when he saw my picture. But he liked yours. He wanted to know if your teeth are really that big.”

“What did you tell him?”

“I said they were bigger, and he can’t wait to meet you either.”

I laughed. “The saber-toothed tigress.”

It was fun having a boyfriend.
