<strong>Oh</strong>. <strong>My</strong>. God.<br />

I totally forgot the skimpy little running outfit Nicole made me<br />

wear. This whole time I’ve been half-naked in his arms—all right, I<br />

know all the important parts are covered and by MTV standards my<br />

clothes are practically dowdy, but for me this is exposed.<br />

I’m not sure what to do. Should I kick and scream, demanding<br />

he put me down right now? Leap out of his arms—and likely fall flat<br />

on my face again thanks to Nicole’s amazing disappearing ankle<br />

trick? Enjoy the sensation of being held while his head dips down,<br />

inching closer and closer to mine—<br />

“Ah-hem.”<br />

Startled, I look up to see Stella standing in our open doorway.<br />

She has her hands on her hips and looks like she caught us making<br />

out on the front steps.<br />

Griffin’s ears are red with embarrassment.<br />

Without saying a word he drops me on the steps, nods to Stella,<br />

and jogs off across the yard.<br />

“Just keep in mind,” Stella snaps, “that you are supposed to be<br />

stealing Griffin away for me, not from me.”<br />

I nod absently, not focused on her but on the spot where Griffin<br />

had just disappeared over the hill. Holding onto the doorjamb so I<br />

don’t fall over, I can’t waste energy worrying about her being mad<br />

at me.<br />

Griffin Blake had been about to kiss me!<br />

And stupid Stella had to interrupt.<br />
