"Really?" I asked. Eddie hadn't told me who he had kissed and I didn't know what spin the bottle was, but suddenly I felt much less jealous. When Eddie had told me he kissed someone during a game, I had felt a strange, sad feeling in my chest, one I didn't fully understand as jealousy until a little while later, but I had also known it hadn't mattered much. That was before I was even here and Eddie had said it was just a game.

I felt like Aggie probably didn't want to steal my boyfriend.

"What's spin the bottle?" I asked to show I wasn't bothered by it. I wondered if she thought Eddie was a good kisser. I did, but I had never kissed anyone before him, not the way we did it. Sal and I had kissed, but only on the cheek, and although they had been kisses with promises of so much more, nothing had ever come of it before she died.
