“He hugged you too. And gross, we’re basically cousins.”
“Are you kidding me right now?” She started laughing. “You’re basically cousins with Axel too. You call his dad Uncle Tyler. Where the hell do you draw the incest line?”
“It doesn’t matter. Axel doesn’t like me.”
“He does. He just…he’s a boy, so he’s dumb.”
The bell for first period rang.
“Come on, we’re going to be late for class.” She pulled me toward our calc class. Sophie ditched classes a lot. But never calc. Because she was in love with Mr. Halifax. He was her crush. The guy she was currently stalking. He was 27, exactly 10 years older than her. And it was never going to happen. Kind of like me and Axel.
“So much for Operation Too Hot To Handle,” I mumbled.
“Nonsense. We just need a phase three. And I have the perfect idea. But it might involve a little incest.”
“Ew, what?”
“God, look at Mr. Halifax’s ass in those khakis. Trust me, you’re going to love it.”
Mr. Halifax’s ass or her incest phase? God, both sounded terrible.
