“People have done worse! They do worse things every day!” I interrupted her; I wasn’t wrong. “So what… if we’re sisters. Jill has done worse and people leave her alone. D-do you remember Kathy? At the movies? She had it pretty bad and now no one brings it up. A-and Charlotte, remember her? She’s in the staff, and she was caught skinny dipping! Nobody gives her crap. And Andrea! All of the stuff she’s done!”
“What do you think we’ll have to do so people don’t upload it somewhere?” she ignored my point.
“We’ll… we’ll say it’s fake. We’ll buy tickets for like, Disneyland or something. Expired ones, I bet they’re cheap. We’ll tell everyone we were there for summer. We can shop some pictures. We’ll… we’ll say something embarrassing happened there. Like, we kissed again! Yes; that’s what we’ll say. They won’t think we’re lying if we say something happened. We’ll even take a picture.”
“O-okay. Does that mean we have to kiss again?”
“For the picture, yes!” was she not listening? I had just told her. “It’s just a kiss, no big deal.”
“But when that other one happened we said it never happened…”
“It happened! It happened, okay? THIS, this is what never happened. That other kiss? Yup, we did make out. So what? A-and we would do it again. But we would never… we would never…!”
“We would never sixty-nine. Nope. Never,” she finished.
“Exactly,” I nodded so hard I hit my chin. We were halfway through the net or so.
“We will only do it at home. In our room, with the door locked. No one will ever find out. And it won’t be a big deal.”
“Exact- wait, what?”
