Chapter 17

"So, have you ever ya know.. punched a girl?" Real subtle Tori.

"What?" Jc stops eating his tuna sandwich.

"Nothing." To stop further questioning I shove a piece of my turkey into my mouth and chew as slow as possible.

"Did you just ask me if I've ever punched a girl?" I rapidly shake my head.

I swallow my food and say quickly, "No, no. I ask if you've ever crunched a... a curl! As in... a cheese curl! They're delicious, so have you?" I bat my eyes at him.

He raises an eyebrow suspiciously at me, "Uh, yeah. I have, they're pretty good..." Avoiding eye contact is a sign he has before and he's getting suspicious- right?

I start shoveling food into my mouth- I haven't eaten today so far so I'm dying.

It's been 24 hours since Kat warned me about Jc, at first she drove over and yelled at me outside. Luckily the

boys were all in grossed in Mario Cart so none of them witnessed her rathe.

We came up with a plan to try and get him to admit his past (and possibly present as Kat added) And to not bombard him with something he may not have even done in the first place.

So far I've only asked him one question, I need more info!

"Have you ever-" "Wow, wow, wow. It's mine turn to ask the questions."

I nod and bite my lip, "Fine, proceed." "You're acting as if I'm going to ask you a deep dark secret."

I roll my eyes, "Anyways, have you ever gotten drunk?"

I shake my head, I've never smoked anything or drank beer- maybe one glass of wine. "Never?" he raised a brow.

"Never. My stepfather was usually drunk every night, I swore to myself I would never get to his level."

Jc nods in understand meant, "Understandable, that's deep."

I laugh half-hearted, talking about my stepfather isn't the easiest- but with Jc it's like reciting the lines of a play you used to perform everyday, it just comes naturally.

"Ok, onto my question. Have you ever done anything you regret?"

Jc ponders, "Yeah, everyone has."

"What is it?" I pry.

"I-" Suddenly his phone vibrates the table.

"Sorry, I gotta take this-" he gets up from the table "-hey momma." He walks outside leaving me and my turkey sandwich alone.

I stab my turkey aggressively, this is stupid. Why did I ever listen to Kat? Maybe she's just lying me, she did say Jc was cute- maybe she wants him all to herse- what am I think?!

A: she likes Connor

B: she's my best friend, she'd never do that to me

and

C: she never lies

When Jc returns I smile at him, "Now, onto regret."

Whoopy.
