Oh, I’m sure you

remember a lot of

things,” Cedric said

pointedly, making it

seem rude and

sarcastic.

“Why, of course!” I said.

“You were my first

boyfriend after all. First

kiss, first date, and all

those firsts.”

I felt Seth wrap his arm

around my waist. “All

those firsts? Oh, I’m

sure there’s a first time

for everything,” he said

mischievously in my ear,

but I knew he was

saying it loud enough

for Cedric and Hail to

hear. D--n, I knew I

should never have told

him about my virginity.

“Hey, you know what

the funny thing about

first times is?” I leaned

a little closer to Seth’s

shoulder. “The next

times are usually so

much better.”

Cedric stared at me,

knowing exactly what I

meant. His jaw

tightened as he

regarded me with a

dark look in his eyes.

“Oh, and Hail, dear?” I

continued. “Since we’re

all good friends here,

I’m sure you don’t mind

that I’m saying this, but

I do hope Cedric finally

learned how to kiss

better.”

Hail’s eyes widened and

her mouth dropped

open. Cedric swore

under his breath and

looked up at us. “Excuse

me, what game are you

playing at?” he asked

me. “Bullshit, Kyla. Why

are you doing this to

us?” Seth tightened his

hold on my waist.

I blinked innocently at

him. “Doing what?”

“Making us all

uncomfortable,” he said.

“Oh, did I?” I said. “Have

I been making you

uncomfortable?” Good.

“I believe I’ve just been

telling the truth all this

time, especially about

the kiss part. Your

kisses are nothing like…

like…” I trailed off and

pretended to think,

before brightening up to

say, “like this!” as I

stood on my knees and

grabbed the collar of

Seth’s shirt, mashing

my lips against his.

His hand automatically

went to the back of my

neck and I let go of his

collar to let my hands

weave into his hair.

Hot d--n, but Seth

really did kiss better

than Cedric does.

“Will you please not

swap spit in front of

us?” Cedric sounded

angry and both Seth

and I pulled away.

“Well, you weren’t

complaining when it

was the two of us,” I

said, smiling at him.

“You know, I’ve spent

quite a lot of time

wondering whether or

not I’m doing the right

thing. Me, not talking to

you and stuff,” Hail

suddenly said, looking

royally pissed at me.

“But you know what?

This is exactly why I

know that I am doing

the right thing. You’re

not Kyla.” She stood up

and grabbed Cedric, who

was staring at me and

Seth as if he was still

seeing us kiss. “Come

on, Ced.”

I snorted. “Ced? Are you

kidding me? Ced?”

Hail looked me squarely

in the eye. “Thank you

for making it so much

easier to walk away.”

—

“I should never have—

never have done this,” I

set, kicking my sandals

off as I settled back

onto the picnic blanket,

covering my face with

my hands as I let all the

emotions flow out of

me. Anger, frustration,

and f-----g hurt. My

throat was aching with

suppressed sobs and

my eyes were hot with

unshed tears.

Seth shifted beside me

and I felt his warm

hands holding my

wrists, pulling my hands

away from my face.

“What?” I snapped at

him.

He looked at me,

unnervingly calm. He

took my hands in his

and forced them to

stay down. There was

something lurking in his

eyes, a seriousness I

didn’t expect. “Do you

want to tell me what

that was all about?
