“If you weren’t my Senior…” I grumble.
“I’m more than that. I’m your friend.” His voice is solemn. “Now just tell me, and I’ll see how I can help.”
Not at all what I expected, but the fact that he’s willing to hear me out isn’t a bad thing. Maybe I finally do need to talk about it.
I lean against the wall on the opposite side of him and cross my arms defensively again, ready for whatever pushback he’s going to give.
“It wasn’t a meeting.”
“Kind of figured. So, her mouth just… fell on yours?”
“Not exactly.”
Lucas takes a second before responding.
“You know you can sue for any sort of sexual advances,” he tells me as he jumps to all sorts of conclusions. “Are you okay? Seriously, that’s not cool of her to come on to you—“
I burst out laughing.
He looks concerned. “Are you going crazy or something? You have felt off for a while now. I mean, more off than usual. You’re always morose and in your head, but always just took that for the whole brooding persona you’re supposed to give off.”
“Yeah, I am going crazy.” I exhale. “I am completely fucking crazy.”
His eyes widen.
“Tell me why? Did she hurt you? Explain to me what she did—“
“She didn’t do anything,” I reply quickly.
“Then what—”
“I’m in love with her.” I don’t know why I blurt it out like that, but it does feel good to kind of release it into the air. Come what may.
“I’m sorry, you’re what?” Lucas is shocked.
“I’ve been in love with her for two years.”
“Two years? How?”
“When I met her, I didn’t know who she was, it was at my graduation, we were both having a bad day, I walked into an empty classroom, she was crying, one thing led to another.”
I’ve never seen Lucas’s jaw drop the way it’s dropping right now. I imagine if it could reach the floor, it would be down there, with drool coming out, tongue rolled out, followed by him, passing out.
“Another… as in sex?”
“In a classroom?” I roll my eyes, even though that’s exactly where we were heading that day. “No and I’m not giving you details. It was just…”
I search for the words.
“Just?” Lucas prods.
Fucking incredible? Unbelievable. Addicting? I can’t tell him this.
“We had chemistry,” is all I say. “Within minutes I found out it was Rae’s sister which… I mean technically you’re related a bit too.”
I wait for the backlash.
“We might be related, but I barely know her. I do know she grew up in the states, went to Harvard, and my dad cheated on my mom to be with her mom, so that’s as far as that goes, anyway…” He shakes his head. “So today? What happened today?”
