The next afternoon I found myself with a rapt audience in the form of Max, Hazel, and Emma.

Apparently Max had sounded the SOS last night and this morning I’d woken to texts from all of my friends asking how they could help me.

When besties Hazel and Emma hadn’t gotten an immediate response—because I’d still been sleeping—they’d rushed right over with pastries, and Max had arrived shortly after them with donuts.

So now we were all sugar loaded and stewing over every detail of that kiss.

The kiss.

My first kiss and the kiss I would henceforth compare every romantic movie kiss to for as long as I lived.

None of those kisses would live up to it. I knew that like I knew my own name. There might be other great kissers in my lifetime, but nothing could beat that first kiss. It had been the most romantic moment of my life, and it had been with…

“Alex’s brother?” Emma’s eyes were huge as she stared at me over the remains of her donut. Usually the first one to laugh, she didn’t look at all close to laughter now. She was clearly too shocked.

Hazel shoved a crumb in her mouth and picked up her orange juice. “I did not see that coming.”

“Seriously.” Max was likely the most shocked of all. Out of all of our friends, she’d been the one to hear every detail of my Alex obsession.

They were all watching me now and I fought to keep a small smile on my face. Like it was no big deal. Like it was totally cool that over the course of a few days I’d had my faith in my longtime love shaken, my heart sort of broken, my first taste of real romance, a crazy connection with a stranger, a humiliating meltdown, and my first kiss...with the wrong guy.

I took a sip of tea.

Nope. Nothing strange going on over here.

“So…” Max started, shifting in her seat and adjusting her glasses as if to see me better. Her long frizzy braid was messier than ever and I imagined that was due to her haste to come help me.

She really was the best friend.

“Does this mean you’re over your crush on Alex?” she finished. Her expression was so hopeful it made me scowl.

Max was the best...when she wasn’t giving me a hard time about Alex. She hated the guy. I got it already. Even more than she hated him, she despised my crush on him.

Not that I could blame her.

But today, I so wasn’t in the mood. Mainly because I was confused myself. I mean, yeah, he’d been a jerk these past few days. And yes, I was angry with him. Part of me was convinced I’d been wrong all along and that what I’d felt for him was nothing more than a figment of my imagination.

But one thing I was absolutely certain of?

I was not in the mood to hear ‘I told you so.’

I also didn’t feel like sticking up for him and if Max started attacking right now, I’d feel compelled to.
