“Do you want to sit in the middle?” I ask Jacob after we’ve entered theater 7 for Toy Story 3.

“There are a slew of kids down there,” he says, annoyed. “The little jerks will blab all through the movie. Let’s sit here.” He reaches for my hand and leads me into the back row. I am going to get that kiss for sure.

“Your mother’s nice,” I say when we get settled in our seats. I know that’s lame, but it’s the only thing I can think of.

“What? Oh, yeah. She’s real nice.” There’s an edge to his voice, but then he looks at me and smiles. “You’re nice, too.”

I giggle. “Thanks.” I can’t believe I said thanks. I am pure pathetic, and I hope he can’t see how red my face must be.

Just then, as if God is giving me a present, the lights go down and the movie starts.

We finish our popcorn and Cokes. The previews end and the show starts. Jacob is glued to the movie, doesn’t even hold my hand like at the dance. Maybe he just likes to sit in the back row or maybe he was serious about the kids in the middle making too much noise. And maybe he changed his mind about his answer to Roxie’s kissing question.

Nope, I was wrong. He turns a little in his seat and puts his arm around me. He’s going to kiss me soon, I think. And he does. It’s nice, just what I’d been imagining it would be like. Then he kisses me again. Harder this time. Not so nice. Suddenly his tongue slithers into my mouth, slimy and wiggling. I picture an eel on the Discovery Channel, burrowing into the ocean floor. I pull away, wipe his spit off my mouth. Before I can tell him to cut it out, he grabs me, kisses me again; this time his hand slides under my blouse, and he’s groping my breasts as if he’s trying to decide which one he likes better.

“Cut it out!” I whisper, trying to pull his hand out from under my shirt. He’s strong, though, and clearly has no intention of stopping, so I dig my fingernails into his skin. He relents. Before I know it, he squeezes the back of my head and kisses me so fiercely, my teeth sink into my lip. Now his other hand is fumbling with the button on my jeans.

So I do the only thing that will make him stop: Bite him! I clamp onto his tongue. He shoves me away. “Jesus Christ! Why’d you do that?” he whispers.

“Well, why’d you do what you did?”

“I thought you wanted it.”

“Yeah, right. Like a bad case of the flu.”

“Little girl, huh?”

I stand up, pull my shirt down, and push past him to the aisle.

He grabs my hand. “What are you going to do?”

I reach in my pocket for my phone. “Call my stepfather to come get me.”

“Why?” He sounds a little desperate. “We were just having fun.”

I taste blood from my lip.
