When I finally pull away,
he looks down at me and says,
"You were pretty brave to go back there.
Do you want to talk about it?"
I shake my head.
"I think we need to change the subject or something.
Unless you like your shirt really damp."
He laughs. "Okay.
We'll talk about something else.
Let me get you something to drink."
He comes back
with the order and some drinks,
and sits across from me again.
No more touching
the real
live
boy.
"So, I'm curious about Cali," I say.
"Where did you two meet?"
"The bookstore.
Where I work.
Just a couple of weeks ago, actually."
"Are you going out?"
"Nah.
I don't really know her.
There's this other girl I like.
But she won't give me her number.
So, I guess we'll be friends."
It makes me smile.
He smiles back,
and it feels like
we've been friends
forever.
A friend is good.
A girl can never
have too many friends.
