Chapter Sixteen

Collin froze. It was clear from the expression on his face that he was having trouble believing what had just come out of my mouth. I could hardly believe it myself.

“What did you say?” he asked, his voice cracking.

I inhaled deeply and swallowed down my nerves. For once, I wasn’t going to be the one to chicken out of an outrageous plan. I’d been a scared little girl, too frightened to do anything but follow the rules. I was done with that. We needed to nail this song. And if this was the way to do it, I could think of no one better to kiss me than Collin Preston.

“Listen, maybe that’s the one thing we need to finally get this right.” I furrowed my brow and glared down at the ground. “Mrs. Banks has said over and over again that this song is about romance. And you said it yourself in the park, how is someone who’s never been kissed supposed to write about love?”

“Audrey, I was joking about that.” Collin looked around the backyard as if he were afraid of someone listening in. “Come on. We can’t talk about this here. I’ve got somewhere better.”

He went into the first room on the right and I froze in the doorway. This was a boy’s room. Not just any boy, but Collin Preston’s room. I’d never been inside a boy’s room before now, although it didn’t look much different from my own.

The girly colors were replaced with shades of blue and black. Posters of different rock bands and athletes hung on the walls. A small TV set with a Playstation sat on a table in the corner. He had a full-sized bed with a navy blue comforter and striped sheets, which had been neatly made, and a desk littered with school books. In all, it was just a bedroom. But my racing heart didn’t seem convinced.

“Okay, let’s talk about this,” Collin said, pacing back and forth across the room with his hands behind his head. “Are you sure this is what you want? That this is the only way?”
