"How's Gloria?" I mouthed; no sound came out. He looked toward her car again. It had finally come to stop halfway up the grassy hill that ran along the side of the school. The boy, noticing our closeness maybe, sat back on his heels then and ran his fingers through his perfectly rumpled dark hair. And then he touched me. His hand rested on my stomach, almost bu accident I think, because the gesture seemed to startle him even more then it startled me. He stared at me with a new intensity, his eyes wide and urgent, his lips slightly parted. "What is it?" I asked, noticing the scar on his forearm - a narrow gash that branched off in two directions, like a broken tree limb. Instead of answering, he pressed his palm harder against me and closed his eyes. His wrist grazed the bare skin right above my navel, where my sweater was still pulled up. It nearly made me lose my breath all over again. A moment later an ambulance came zooming into the lot, the siren blaring, the light flashing bright red and white, and the boy backed away, just like that. He crawled free of me, darted over to his motorcycle. Hopped on. Revved up the engine. And then sped away. Before I could even ask him his name. Before I could thank him for saving my life.
Chapter 2
The first time I saw her I knew - long and twisty caramel blond-hair, curvy hips, and lips the color of fire.
She was talking that first time - in a group with faceless girls. I was there, too - standing a good distance back. Watching her. I wondered what she was all about - if her cheeks where naturally seashell pink, or if she was embarrassed or maybe wearing makeup. I watched her lips as they pouted, then stretched wide when she laughed. It made me laugh too. I couldn?t stop watching her. Imagining the way her mouth would move when she said my name, or told me she loved me, or came at me with a kiss. And so I made a silent vow to myself. I would find out about her checks, and the way her kisses would taste. I would find out everything, because I simply had to know. I had to have her. I still do. And one day, very soon, I will.
