The Boy Across The Street
language
( May 15, 2019)
Just because the (hot) boy across the street saved me from a couple of embarrassing moments lately doesn’t mean I forgive him for the past four years. Four years of him acting like I don’t exist, except when he needs to make a joke out of someone: me. Four years of acting like we hadn’t been best friends once, that is until he cut me out of his life to hang out with the popular crowd. No way. I’m not going to forgive him for that stuff. But then from out of nowhere he kisses me. Ugh! Now I can’t get him and his steamy kiss out of my head. I still haven’t forgiven him—I won’t do it—but now I DREAM about him. Constantly. And it’s no longer the dreams where I get to toss him out a window. No, these involve kissing. And panting. And whispering “I love you.” Shoot. Me. Now.
This book is told in two parts. (They are both in this book.) The other part of the story is about the 17-year-old girl’s best friend, Stormy, who is having guy troubles of her own.
Stormy’s tale: A hot tough hockey player at our high school left me a steak. A STEAK!! He also left a (bizarrely sweet) bewildering note with it. It said, “This is juicy and well-done … just like your performance tonight.” (Don’t get too excited about that, my “performance” was in the sad school play.) Later, he told me he was being romantic with the steak. He was only teasing, but he said, “What? I heard girls like food for gifts—I was being romantic.” Like I said, he was only teasing. Sadly, he’s ALWAYS teasing me. So it bites that I’m falling for the guy, but I am. Hard. Because he’s just the way I like my steak—hot, tender and delicious. Plus, Mmmm, that boy can kiss!
SUMMARY: The tough hockey player at school has it bad for sweet, shy Stormy. Can he show her that he can be sweet too?—tender even? (Stormy’s half of the story was previously titled: The Tough Boy’s Tender Kiss.)
