You don’t know what you’re talking about.‘ But I do know how I feel.” I ignored him, flipping through the novel I’d just found.

One day, when the time is right… we’ll be your first.” “What?” Levi asked, his voice a cracked whisper. I drifted off to sleep with their hearts beating around mine. their The room was quiet. Too quiet. I felt their discomfort, their confusion… and something else. Something heavier. I blinked, startled. “Lennox-” Olivia’s POV At Louis, who still sat beside me, calm but lost in his thoughts. I looked at him, wide–eyed. “Oh…” “What?” I asked, defensive now. “I’m not a kid anymore. I’m thirteen. I can have feelings.” 208 First Time A small, shy smile broke through the sadness. I rose to my feet, my fists clenched at my sides. “Fine.
