He's at kind of a loose end. Poison's spending so quality time with Dee, which Jack totally gets. They've got rehearsal and then they're going to get food and watch a movie and Jack is making himself scarce. He gets to be Poison's boyfriend, one-hundred percent, and that means he can step away without feeling like he's being side-lined.

Kavinsky's busy, so he texts Cassie.

Dinner? My treat. Somewhere nice.

An hour later, he's standing outside Cassie's building, wearing a shirt and loosely knotted tie, a waistcoat, his shirtsleeves rolled up to his elbows. He's made an effort. He likes Cassie. Being friends is worth it.

I'm embarrassed to admit that when Jack offered, I jumped at the chance. I was mostly over my weird crush on him. Instead, it just felt really good to have a no pressure, no saving the world sort of friend to spend time with. I had no idea what to wear, and shyly texted him asking for advice. I didn't really have many clothes. Rachel had always hated that about me. I dressed practically, not prettily, and I hated shopping, so I had only two or three different outfits to get me by.

I ended up meeting him on the stoop, wearing jeans that actually sort of fit me, with work boots that were low enough that I didn't look like a construction worker, and a kind of cute purple top that had some tiny pleats around the collar and sleeves. It made me look just a little bit girly, at least, which was good, because I didn't wear makeup, or do anything special with my short hair, and I didn't have jewelry.

And it was too hot for my morphing suit, so I hoped I didn't get shot again.

I stuffed my key into my pocket as I stepped off the stoop.

"Hi," I said. Wow. He looked really good. "I feel like I should be wearing a dress," I admitted with a laugh.

I blushed a little. "On a, a what day?" I asked, feeling lame. "Like, feminine?" I had no idea that Jack's boyfriend wore dresses, and it made me feel weird and warm to imagine it. "I don't think I've ever known someone that cross-dresses," I admitted. Oh my gosh, why was I even talking? I sounded so lame!

I didn't really want to think about Jack's boyfriend's underwear. It was weird enough seeing Jake's face and knowing he was kissing another boy! It made me think of Jake kissing Marco, or Tobias, and that was just— that was weird! But I wanted to be supportive. This was Jack, not Jake, no matter how alike they looked.

"I don't even like wearing skirts and dresses!" I said. "I guess that's just . . . really cool, that a guy feels like he can." I pictured Jake and Marco in their morphing suits, their bike shorts that showed off their legs, and looked up at Jack shyly. "Does he, um. What does he do about his legs? I mean. The hair."

I definitely made a little face, but I blushed, anyway. "Sorry, I guess that's just kind of weird for me." I had only started shaving my under arms a couple years ago, but I couldn't imagine letting them grow out. It was hard enough letting them go a couple days in between!

"But, if you don't mind, and he doesn't mind, that's really all that matters, right?" I rushed to add.

I felt a little embarrassed by that last remark, and also by my own sort of small-town-girl outlook on the entire thing. I nodded. "So, um. Where're we going, anyway?"

"Oh, um." I leaned into the hug a little. "I've never had Vietnamese food before," I admitted. "And the only Italian I've ever had is Olive Garden." I grinned up at him. "So, I guess I'll leave it up to you?"

"Back home, my friend Marco made great Mexican food, but I only had it once. Mostly, if we all hung out, we went to the food court in the mall."

I didn't talk much about my life outside of Darrow, and I wondered if Jack would push. He was pretty good about it, normally. There was a part of me that wanted him to, though. I hadn't had much of a need to use my morphing powers for fighting the Yeerks, maybe, but that lack of jeopardy also made me start to feel a little stir crazy. I had this secret, and nobody to talk about it with!

"So, either way, this is gonna be an experience for me!" I concluded.

I cringed playfully. "I'm sorry! I just keep forgetting. I've been trying to find a job, so I sort of space on other stuff." It was partially true, anyway. While I was looking for a job, I was usually in morph, also, trying to spot any injured animals that needed help. Sometimes, I brought them to the vet, but they weren't really equipped for, or experienced with, wild animals.

I laughed. "No, no, I'm sorry. I'll try to be better!" I'd just been thinking about other things, and I always forgot to go to his yoga classes until it was too late to go at all.

I eyed him, pretending to be suspicious. I knew he could lift me, probably really easily. I was small, not just short, but compact, too.

"I don't want to test that theory," I said with a laugh.
