That’s why I was happy about getting partnered with her for tutoring, even though I knew she wouldn’t make it easy. I was hoping I could spend time with her again and maybe show her I’m not a total dick.

“Heard you got put with Emery Austin for tutoring,” Cole said after school the day the list was posted. News travels fast.

“Too bad she hates my guts,” I said.

“She doesn’t really,” Bethany, his latest girlfriend, said, patting me on the shoulder.

Bethany was kinda rubbing my shoulder, so I moved away from her. I’m a friendly guy, and girls get the wrong idea sometimes. Emery makes fun of me ’cause I got voted Biggest Flirt in the yearbook freshman year, but sometimes I get the feeling she doesn’t think it’s funny.

Who knows how girls think? Guys are like simple machines—we’re pulleys and levers that react to whatever happens right then, and then we’re over it. Girls are complex computer systems—complicated motherboards no one can understand. All I know is, it seems like every time I pay attention to somebody, the girl has me practically engaged by the next day. Look, I just like to have a good time. I’m not interested in getting too serious—with anybody. Well, with almost anybody.
