A few people turned to look at us in the hall.
Eek.I hid behind Sophie.
She laughed. “I know that. But you made that very unclear to your kiss thief. He was just leaning into it. Obvs.”
I wasn’t sure it was that obvious. Or even that plausible.
“Well it sounds like you had a very epic night.”
“None of that was even the best part,” I said. “Axel was waiting in my room when I came home.”
“I thought he had a date?”
“I don’t think he actually went on that date. He made up some lie about painting a portrait...but there was no way he actually took Gemma to that random place in Soho I sent him. He said he’d been waiting for me all night.”
“Shut up.”
“And he knew I was scared because Jacob took me to see a scary movie. So he spent the night.”
“Shut up!” She squealed. “Are you serious?”
I nodded. “He spent the whole night.”
“Operation Too Hot to Handle is working, Scar! I knew it! Axel is going out of his mind with jealousy.”
I was smiling so hard that my cheeks hurt.
“And since you’re in such a good mood, I feel like I need to take this opportunity to bring up the kissing booth again...”
“Soph, we’re not doing another kissing booth. And it’s an away game tonight. We can’t set up an exploding kissing booth at another school.”
“Says who? It’s actually better. Because if it explodes, we won’t have to clean it up.”
I didn’t think that was how anything worked. “Sophie you promised all the V21 cameras were destroyed.”
“I may have found another box.”
“You need to throw them out.”
“I don’t know how to dispose of them properly. If I just throw them in the garbage, a garbage truck might explode or something.”
Huh. Fair.“Maybe ask your dad about it?”
“I think if he knew how to dispose of them we wouldn’t have so many in our apartment right now.”
I laughed. “That seems very dangerous. Just promise me you won’t handle them anymore.”
“Eh.”
“That was not a yes.”
“Eh.”
I shook my head. “We should probably get to class.”
She gave me a look.
“What?” I asked.
