Iâve grabbed my favorite spot on Elleâs couch. Chinese takeout sits on the coffee table before us. Sure, Knox said heâd bring over food, but Iâll just eat that too. In my life, carbo-loading is an essential form of therapy. That said, our supplies for the evening go far beyond Chinese takeout. Elle and I also have three pints of Ben & Jerryâs in the freezer, along with a binge-watch fiesta of Stranger Things ready to go on TV. After all the craziness with Philpot at LeCharme, itâs time for some fun with Elle. I grab an eggroll and stuff my face.
Meanwhile, Elle sits at the far end of the couch, staring at her hands and looking super-guilty.
âWhat?â I speak through a mouthful of food. âArenât you going to eat?â I also canât help notice that Elle is still wearing her suit while Iâve taken it upon myself to borrow a pair of her skinny jeans and a long sweater.
âI just need to clear the air.â
âNo you donât. Eat.â
âIâm so sorry I wasnât there for you back at LeCharme.â Elle holds up her phone. âYou sent me like a million texts.â
I keep stuffing my face, but I donât correct her. It was totally annoying that we couldnât get in touch. âWhat happened? Whyâd you go off the grid?â
âAlec and I decided to take a walk and get some coffee. I was teasing him, and we decided to both shut off our phones and, well, thatâs it.â
âDonât worry about it.â
âAre you sure? Just so you know, I got you a first edition of Aliceâs Adventures in Wonderland for your birthday.â
âFirst of all, that is so awesome about the gift. I canât believe it.â Elle knows how much I love Aliceâs Adventures in Wonderland. âBut you didnât need to say a thing about presents. Iâm the one who should be giving you gifts and apologizing.â
Elle shrugs. âRight.â
I decide that now is a good time to stare at the floor. Yup. Still there. âNo, itâs true. We have bigger things to talk about.â
âLike how you dumped Philpot? That was awesome, by the way.â
âNope. Even bigger than that.â I set down the dumpling Iâd picked up, just to show how serious this particular topic is. âI kissed Knox.â
Elle bounces a little on the couch. âYou did?â
âOr he kissed me.â I squint, thinking back through the experience. âWhatever. It was definitely a mutual thing.â I raise my pointer finger. âAnd it happened twice.â
âAnd?â
I blush my face off. âIt was awesome.â
Elle rips open a little white box thatâs filled with mu shu pork. âDetails, girlfriend.â
âNot until I get a little intel from your side. Anything happen with you and Alec?â
âNope. Friends without benefits forever.â
âIs it because of his magic stuff?â I donât want to come out and say that I guessed Alec is a warden, and Knox confirmed it. That means he canât get married. Which is a little bit of a bummer, but come on? Weâre seventeen, and no oneâs worrying about getting hitched now.
