Chapter Nine

“I thought Tasha was suspended from cheer,” I griped before dunking my strawberry into a bowl of sour cream. Times like these called for a carpet picnic in the privacy of my room. Thank heavens Mom had gone on a fruit binge at the market.

“She is suspended,” Summer said. “But that’s not the same as kicked off the squad. She can’t cheer at games or anything, but she still has to show up.” Summer dropped a strawberry stem onto the tray and reached for another. “And she’s not allowed to wear her uniform until the suspension is lifted.”

I dabbed the tip of my strawberry into the brown sugar, rolling it until all the sour cream was coated, and paused before bringing it to my lips. “When we were researching the kiss,” I started, “this article said that women were, like, instinctively drawn in by men whose immune systems carried what their own lacked, so their babies would have strong immune systems.”

“That’s cool,” Bailey said. She was sitting up to my vanity rifling through my jewelry box and trying on my rings.

I replayed the effects of his kiss in my head and sighed. “I swear Jett and I would have kids with like, out of control immune systems. Probably superhero strength.”

It took me a moment to realize that both Summer and Bailey were staring off in some sort of daze. “That good, huh?” Summer asked dreamily.

“Indescribably good,” I assured. In fact, it was possible Jett had some super power of his own. “But I don’t even know what to do now. What, are we in some dumb…let’s-pretend-we-like-each-other-in-front-of-our-exes type of thing?”

Bailey gasped from her seat at my vanity and looked at me with wide eyes. “A fake relationship. Yes, I’ve seen that a million times. The couple starts out pretending like they’re going out, all to make someone jealous or make a parent happy or something like that, but then they actually end up falling in love.”

“Oh my heck, yes,” Summer joined in. “That’s perfect. If he’s really just trying to make Tasha jealous, play along for now and it will turn into something more.”

I hated how convinced they were that Jett was, in fact, just making Tasha jealous. Hated it because I was trying to convince myself otherwise. But what else did they have to go on? They hadn’t seen the way Jett had flirted with me when Tasha wasn’t there. Plus, I hadn’t explained how very chivalrous he was when we were together. Although, he was probably just as chivalrous to random ladies at the store, being raised as he was.

“The idea that he was only kissing me to get back at Tasha…” It hurt to even say the words aloud. “That just ruins everything.”

“I’m sure he likes you too,” Bailey said. “I doubt he would’ve used just anyone.”

“True. I hate the word used though. It’s enough to make me just…wish I could forget about the whole thing.”

“Yeah, but you still have to finish the assignment with him,” Summer pointed out.
