101 Chapter 101

"What if" Lucy began and then stopped, biting her lip for a second before she continued, "what if I didn't like Jason, and I said no. Do you think Jess would be mad at me because the guy she likes asked me out?"

I scrunched up my forehead and stared at her for a long while. "No," I said. "How would that be your fault? You can't help it that you're gorgeous and awesome."

She gave me a cynical smile. "Still, I think she'd be mad. It'd be human nature to be jealous."

"I agree," Emma said, nodding. "I think she'll be mad at you no matter what you say."

"You think?" I asked, turning my gaze to Emma.

"Yeah, I mean, if Liam asked Lucy out, you'd be mad, wouldn't you? Even if she said no?"

I expected Lucy to say her usual comment when it came to Liam, "barf," but she was only staring at Emma like she had two heads or something. "What's the matter, Lucy?"

"Nothing," she said. "You wouldn't get mad at me over that, would you?"
