It’s still a little weird hanging out with E.J. I mean, of course he’d be at Ashlyn’s party. He is her cousin. And it was a theater kids’ party and he’s, like, king of the East High theater kids. And he loves (I mean really loves) Thanksgiving. It’s his favorite holiday. So his attending the party wasn’t the weird part. It’s just that it wasn’t that long ago that we were a thing. That’s what’s weird.

I didn’t go to theater camp looking for a show-mance. It just happened. Like how in The Music Man, Marian the librarian didn’t mean to fall for Harold Hill. But she did. And he fell for her—on the footbridge, of all places

How did E.J. and I start hanging out? Well, they posted the cast list on the third day of camp. I was…I mean, I don’t even know how to describe it. There was my name, listed next to a really great role and next to the lead understudy’s role. Happy doesn’t start to cover it. I felt, for the first time ever, like my talent was seen.

I was waiting in line at the mess hall that night when Kourtney texted again. She wanted me to know that I was not the only one with exciting news. She, too, had a new role, as president of her new club: the Future Is Female club. One thing I know about Kourt is that when she gets an idea in her head, there’s no point debating it. She said the new club, of which she was the only member, was the most important thing to happen that summer. She was making some point about how feminism started at home, and saying that clubs looked good on college applications, and that being a feminist got her out of chores and cooking around the house, which completely cracked me up. Seriously, that girl is the best. I can’t believe she couldn’t make it to the Thanksgiving shindig tonight. She would have loved it. And she would totally have helped things with E.J. be less awkward. But she had plans with her family, so I get it.

So E.J., right…our show-mance. I got Kourtney’s text in the mess hall, and I was doing that thing you’re not supposed to do, where you walk and text at the same time. And bam! I walked right into E.J.—like smack-dab into him, right in the middle of the mess hall.

In the movies, they’d call it a meet-cute. But in my life, I’d call it an embarrassing moment, except E.J. didn’t make me feel embarrassed. Actually, the opposite. He acted like he was glad I had run into him. I was not expecting him to be that sweet. I was a little taken aback. I guess I assumed…I don’t even know what I assumed. Maybe that a soon-to-be senior who always got the lead in the school play and who looked like a movie star would be on more of an ego trip? But he wasn’t.
