"I hadn't done much kissing at that point. I'd watched plenty of other people, notably my sister and her inane boyfriend, Bart. When I was like, twelve, and starting to go to parties, I practiced on my drinking glass, until my sister blabbed out, right at the breakfast table, "Sarah's kissing her juice!" I told them my lip itched, but not even she believed me. The first person who kissed me was at one of those parties. it was Jeffrey Gerber, a.k.a. the Gerber Baby, a.k.a. Jeffrey the Gerbil, and i didn't kiss him back. I did kiss this other person, Jason, back, but he was such a space cadet, I don't think he knew the difference.
David knew the difference. He leaned very close to me. When his mouth was so close to mine I stopped breathing, he said, very softly, "So we're both nervous."
