Me:Hey. Yep. Beau’s kissed me. And some other things. And I like him.

Me:A lot.

Me:Especially the way he touches me.

Me: But that’s where it gets confusing, too.

The dots start jumping, so I wait for her to respond.

Ellie:What’s to be confused about? Hot guy? Check.

Ellie:Good kisser? Check.

Ellie:Big dick? Check check check. (not three dicks, just that it’s a big one)

Ellie:So what’s the issue?

I swallow hard, then make my fingers fly, not knowing how much time I have before Coach Hall shows up.

Me:He makes me feel things.

Me:And it’s confusing.

Me:No one has ever bothered to be nice to me before.

Me:And maybe I’ve always treated sex kind of casually.

Me:(Thanks, Mom.)

Ellie:Full. Stop.

Ellie:Do you actually LIKE this guy?

Me:?

Ellie:I mean, like him as a person. Not just for a cute butt or whatever.

Me:I think maybe I do. That’s why I’m so freaked out.

Me: El, my mom showed up to the pre-season meeting today.

Ellie:Oh, fuck no.

Me:It was hella embarrassing.

Me:She wasn’t ever supposed to know I was here.

Ellie:But how?

Me:I’m pretty sure the team captain—the one who has it in for me—found her info and told her about the meeting.

Ellie:Oh, fuck.

Footsteps nearby tell me Coach Hall is probably about to show up.

Me:Gotta go. My coach wants to talk to me.

Ellie:Okay. Thanks for not leaving me hanging this time.
