“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you do that.”
“Axel, please, I’m freaking out. If my dad sees my phone I’ll be grounded forever.”
Axel lowered his eyebrows. “Seriously...why? Are you sexting the boyfriend or something?”
“What? No. Of course I’m not sexting Jacob, perv.”
“Huh.” He smiled.
I sighed. “What now?”
“Nothing.”
“No, what were you thinking?” I asked.
“I was wondering if the boyfriend has seen that inappropriate satin number you snuggle up to me every night in.”
I swallowed hard. “No.”
“How ‘bout that. Have you told him we’re sleeping together yet?”
“No. And don’t say it that way.”
“What way?” he asked.
“You make it seem like you and I are being intimate. And we’re not.”
Axel stared at me. “But wearesleeping together. And you haven’t told the boyfriend?”
“I already told you that I haven’t.”
“How ‘bout that,” he said again.
Whenever I wasn’t thinking about kissing Axel I was thinking about slapping him.

“I’m thinking of staying for breakfast,” Axel said as I came back into my bedroom.
“Absolutely not.” I started packing up my backpack.
Axel usually snuck out when I was still asleep. But he was lingering this morning. He was leaning back against my headboard staring at me like we had all the time in the world. Which we absolutely did not. We had school.
I pulled on my blazer. I’d had to change into the rest of my uniform in the bathroom so Axel wouldn’t stare. I pulled down my skirt a bit. The longer the better this morning. Anything that would put my dad in a better mood.
“What’s Ellen making for us?” Axel asked.
“Us? No.” I pushed my glasses up the bridge of my nose.
He smiled.
“Axel, I don’t have time to play mind games right now. My dad still hasn’t returned my phone. He said it would be a few hours and it’s been all night.” I shoved my last book into my backpack and pulled the zipper so hard that the tab fell off.Crap.
Axel chuckled.
“It’s not funny. I’m going to be grounded.”
