Lucky: Speechless again, huh? Looks like I have that effect on you.

Me:Fuck off.

Lucky:You’re only proving my point. You’re not meant to be a nun. Not when you curse the way you do.

Lucky:A nun doesn’t kiss like you, either.

Me:How do you know? Have you kissed many before?

Lucky:Only you.

My heart rate speeds up, and I hate that two little written words have such an effect on me.

Me:Leave me alone, Lucky.

Me:I won’t say it again.

Lucky:You’re not saying anything.

Lucky:You’re texting.

God, he’sinfuriating.And, of course, he had to get technical.

Knowing he won’t back off no matter what I type, I switch to a language he’ll actually respect.

Me:

Lucky:

Lucky:Tomorrow, I have a proposition for you.

Me:What kind of proposition?

Lucky:Got your attention, now, didn’t I?

Argh.

When I don’t reply, he sends me another text.

Lucky:Meet me by the St. Mary’s fountain after school. We’ll go back to Jude’s, and I’ll tell you all about it.

Me:No.

Lucky:Yes.

Me:If you have anything to say to me, you can tell me at school.

Lucky:Not this.

Lucky:Trust me.

Trust him? Trust him? Is he serious?!

Lucky:C’mon. What do you have to lose?

My mind? My future? Take your pick.

Me:Fine. I’ll be there. Can’t wait.
