“Not the way you’re thinking,” I replied, rubbing my te stupid, and he caughtI kneas in his lap and erejust staring at one another”

“And that’s when you kissed his “Just one kiss?”

Covering my face with my hands, I nodded “It was just a quick kiss on the lips I’m not sure you could even consider it a kiss, really”

“Quick or not, a kiss is a kiss,” Abbi said

“I don’t know about that” Megan dug out an Oreo froe beside her “There are different levels of kissing There’s a quick peck on the lips, and then there’s a longer closed- different kisses to you two? No one in this room is a member of the hy”

“Ohmy arms

Abbi rolled her eyes as she shook her head “I can’t even with you most of the time, but hymen parade? That’s There are no words”

After popping the entire cookie in her an talked around it “So you kissed hiue, and then freaked out?”

I started pacing again “Yes That’s about it”

She picked up her napkin and wiped the little black crumbs off her lips “Did he kiss you back?”

“No,” I whispered “I thought he was going to, but he didn’t”

Abbi raised her eyebrows “What did he do? Just lie there? While you were in his lap?”

“I knohen I started liking him more than just a friend,” I cut in “I don’t even knohat happened exactly”

“Probably because you were cataloging every second instead of actually experiencing it” Abbi leaned back inand obsessing while so”

I wanted to deny that, too, but she was right I did that A lot “Maybe that happened, but seriously, can we pick another time to point out my character flaws?”

“Maybe you just caught hian said “That could be why he freaked out”

“You think that’s the reason?”

“Maybe I uys have been just friends forever Even if he’s into you, it probably caught hiuard” She brushed her hair over her shoulder “Did you say anything to him afterward? Wait, don’t even answer that I already know You said nothing”

My lips pursed

She lifted her hands “I’ out if you didn’t do anything or say anything, there’s a chance he thinks that you think you ht?”

“Well” Abbi leaned into the arht?”

Oh, this was going so to like “Yeah?”

“I’ to consider,” she said, clearly choosing her words very carefully “You kissed Sebastian Let’s assu on themore than friends”

“Agreed,” Megan chi”

“So you kissed him and he knows it’s not because you like hian said—he was caught off guard and just reacted weird and is now hiding in a corner somewhere”
