"You are such an assle so them from my lap to the floor Seriously, Ty’s feet stink

"Yeah, well Tell Mo They’re co us to dinner, and all that I’ Cass"

My brother’s infatuation with Cass fascinates er than a week, but she see is how absolutely normal she is Girls have never been a probleh school, and that was after his accident The local paper thought it was this cool story, about how our student body elected a guy in a wheelchair Then the reporter interviewed Ty, and his quote pretty ht irls just can’t help theht there in print Moh-fived him That’s Ty I wish I had an ounce of his confidence

"You should ask Rowe," he says, his back toIf he were giving me crap, he’d be in my face, relentless and crude about her But he likes her; he likes the idea of her and o?"

"Bro, I know she’d go," he says, turning around and throwing his dirty boxers at et him back when I stand up and push his underwear on his own head as I leave the roo through the door

Their door is open, and for so as I get closer It’s not the kind of stuff I’d expect to hear froirl’s room I knock on the door, but I know they can’t hear it, so I step slowly around the corner Rowe’s back is to"Sex Is On Fire" by the Kings of Leon, standing on a chair in thein the air as if she were actually on stage It’s the single cutest thing I’ve ever seen in my whole life I quietly slip all the way into the roo my knees up so I can sit and just look at her for a little longer

When the chorus co with her They sound terrible, but I’d watch an entire concert of this just to look at Rowe She spins around once, but her eyes are closed, so she doesn’t notice I’er toto Cass while I sneak up behind Rowe; Cass grins and nods I wait for a few seconds for theain, and when Rowe lifts her arms up, I wrap my arms around her waist and lift her up froht hook It’s a I’ve been hit in the face by ninety-mile-per-hour pitches, and I’ve never bled like this "Ohhhhh fk!" I say, e up as od! I’ to her closet and pulling out a giant bath towel and handing it toI want to do is bleed all over their floor

"My fault," I say, raising a hand and sitting down on the chair Roas just dancing on

"No…oh god! I’m so sorry I just…I scare really easily"

"Yeah, I can see that"

Cass turns the music down so we can hear better, and Rowe kneels next toher hand on esture in the world, but for so at me takes my breath away Her eyes are so concerned, and her hand is tre up to hold her hand with aze juet you ice," she says, standing and hugging herself

"No, really I’ll be fine I have a brother, and I’ve been punched…a lot! It will stop in a minute"

Rowe keeps her arms around her stoe of her bed Cass reaches under her own bed for a duffle bag, pulls it out and goes into the closet to fill it with laundry "I’?" she asks

"No, I’ her friend walk out the door, and her breath stops the second the door closes behind her Cass may just be my new best friend, because I know she did this so Rowe and I could be alone But for so even more nervous and uncomfortable; she stands and walks over to the s in a few pins
