For the second day in a row, Ian Thornton came to the pickup line for Amelia. “You’re coming swimming with us?” he said. “Right?”

I shook my head, glad to have a reason to say no.

“I’m having dinner with my dad in New York,” I said.

“You have a dad,” he said.

“Everyone has a dad!” Amelia screamed.

I shrugged. I did not want to see Ian again. Not after what happened the last time I saw him. I was not going to have sex with him, that was for sure.

“We’ll walk you to the train,” Ian said.

“You don’t have to.”

Ian and Amelia walked me to the train.

I was grateful they didn’t wait with me. I couldn’t think of a single thing to say to Ian, with his blond hair and his perfectly chiseled jaw. Or I thought of something but it seemed stupid and I did not say it. I wanted to ask Ian what was going on. Why was he messing with my head? Did he like me? More likely, he was bored. Like me, he probably had no friends in town. This, however, did not seem like a reason to mess with my head. My head, it felt like, had already been properly messed with.
