“Strange. Oh, well, I was hoping to hear all about this kiss so you could tell me if it’s as amazing as it sounds in books and looks in movies. I keep thinking there’s no way it’s as good as they act, but then I’m like, why would the idiots keep doing it if it’s not that good? We could just kiss each other and see what all the fuss is about.” Tara’s eyes widened, and she saw a smirk on Elias’s face. Had he seriously heard that through the phone? Not that Shelly spoke quietly or anything. Even her non-yelling voice was still pretty loud. “Okay, that’s where we’re going to end this convo. I’m going to get some homework done so I don’t have to do it on Sunday.” “You’re so weird,” Shelly said. “But I still love you, ya dirty w*****************t corner.” “Lame.” “Shut up. I’m tired. Bye.”
