“You sassy little minx!”

I smiled. I was very proud of myself. But then I remembered what happened after that. “Soph, I need to show you something.” I pulled out my phone and opened up my texts with the kiss thief.

“Ooooh. He’s going to steal third base next? I love that for you.”

I’d completely forgotten about that. “I don’t even know how you’d steal third base. It doesn’t even make any sense.”

“Sure it does. He just pushes you to your knees, buries his fingers in your hair, and guides you.”

That was...graphic. “Well he can’t steal that. Because I have no idea how to do that.”

“But you have a fake boyfriend to practice on.”

I laughed. Because I thought she was kidding. But she looked dead serious. “Jacob doesn’t like me.”

“Mhm.”

“We’re just friends.”

She shrugged. “Friends or not, I’m sure Jacob is ready and willing to let you practice blowing him first.”

“No...I...no.” I shook my head. “We don’t even kiss right. We definitely can’t do that right.”

“From an outside perspective, it looks like you kiss perfectly fine.”

“Soph.”

“Scar.”

“I can’t ask him that. And you shouldn’t want me to. Scroll up.” I pointed to my phone.

Sophie scrolled up to the part about the kiss thief wanting to teach me and her eyes grew round. “No.” And then her face fell. “No.”

I winced.

“No.”

“It’s Mr. Halifax, right?”

“No,” she said again.

“No...it’s not him? Or are you saying no because you’re upset?”

She didn’t respond. But then she slowly shook her head. “No it’s not him.”

She was being delusional. “Sophie, he literally said ‘I’ll teach you. Your first lesson will be when I steal third base.’ ”

“He did say that.”

I stared at her.

“But he also said ‘lol’ when you asked if it was Mr. Halifax. Which means it’s not him. It made him laugh out loud.”

“What about all that teaching you stuff though?” I pointed at my phone.

“I’ll teach you,” she read. “Your first lesson will be when I steal third base.” She shrugged. “He was just leaning into your teacher kink.”

“I don’t have a teacher kink!”
