Triggered (2013)
“The big news is I ran into Mick today. (Wearing the blue hoodie I gave him for Xmas! That’s no accident.) He was coming down the west stairs and practically plowed right into me. (Clearly, great minds think alike.) You should have seen his face! He went pale, then he went pink, then he just kind of gazed at me in this really deep way. I might have had my doubts before, but not anymore. Looks don’t lie. Mick still loves me.
Too bad everything’s so weird now. There’s nowhere for us to go and work this out. It’s all so, I don’t know, unnatural or something. We can’t have a “normal conversation” in English Lit. The entire class is watching our every move. (I really wish we’d been lower profile before. Nobody talks about how Amy Norman and Jordan Mancini’s relationship is going.) Getting together after school doesn’t work either. I’m too busy. We’d have to arrange an actual date—and I can tell Mick’s not ready to put himself on the line like that yet. (Life would be so much easier without ...the male ego always getting in the way.) Then, of course, there’s the whole bizarre Quinn Poulos thing.MoreLess
