Loving Someone
Now It’s Summer Vacation
Emily’s Parents Aren’t Home
Something Different?
Three Words

Can’t Wait

Thank God It’s Summer
What’s Got My Tightie Whities
And So
I Actually Met Tara
I Want Her Opinion
Till Cupid Comes Calling
Too Far
Lately I’ve Been Searching Online

When We Finally Meet

I Hide Hurt
So This Weekend Visit
Usually
Well, Officially
She Stands in the Doorway
I Stuff All That Inside
They Also Make Me Feel

Gaming

No-Win Situation
God, I Miss Dylan
If I Keep Reliving
So Not Funny!
Mom Jumps to My Defense

Smug

I Hate Decisions
I Shave
By the Time
What I Know About Him
Mangoes Make Me Itch
Turns Out
He Struggles
Bitch-Slapped

Straight

I Didn’t Ask
I’d Say
Which Somehow Launches Us
Lame
Way TMI!
Munchkin!

A Best Friend

A Conscience
So I’m Very, Very Quiet
Out of the Loop
He Rolls Me onto My Back

He Takes Mikayla Home

Some Secrets
Why?
I’m Tired
Later, We’re Going Out

She’s So Playable!
Turns Out

Dirty Movies

Making Love
The Closest I’ve Come
Of Course, Going Straight
While Waiting
It Is, in Fact
Any Small Sense of Fear

Fireworks

This Night
There Are Couples Everywhere
Subzero Cold
Suddenly, Someone Yells
Now He Waves Me Over
But When I Turn Around

Traitor

I Wanted to Scream
So When Emily Called
Em Comes Straight Out
No Freaking Kidding
Past Tense
The Sentence Remains Unfinished
I Despise Being in the Middle

A Bad Thing

Glowing
When I Think Like That
It Was Like Chanting a Mantra
Forever
Everyone’s Laughing
Believe It or Not

Wish I Could Forget

It Pays
I Want Him
Speaking of Vamps
If He Can Love Bella
The Movie Ends
It’s After One A.M.
Faces Washed and Teeth Brushed

Kissing

Apologies Are Useless
I’ve Said I’m Sorry
I Let Dylan Know I Can Escape
I Ponder Those Two Things
He Holds Up His Longboard
I Consider That
I’m Not Really the Jealous Type

Uh, Question

Distraction
So Is His Audience
The Last Time I Asked
A Soft Whistle
Death

Faith

If You Hold Someone
Totally Stupid
How Could I Say No?
I Didn’t Want to Like Him
So I’m Sorry
I’m Afraid Her Heart Will, Too

I Keep Thinking of It
That Makes Him Smile
But Now He Stops
