"You didn't answer my question, Kyra." He glanced down at her with glinting cat-eyes.

"I wish I were," she growled as she looked at her shoes.

"As far as anyone up there knows, you are. So if that's what's making you upset, don't worry about it." Jacoby looked away. So this is why she never treats me like the other guys, he thought. I'm too different for her.

Kyra looked up and shook her head. "Forget I said anything," she muttered before walking in the opposite direction of the boy.

Kyra stared him down. "Convince me why I shouldn't. I'll find my way out one way or another. You know that."

Jacoby leaned down and kissed her softly. He pulled back and locked eyes with her for an unbroken moment.
