“Why? Because you’re actually thinking of doing it to…Jacob instead? If you’re going with the jealousy plan like mine, that is.”

I swallowed hard. It wasn’t about making Axel jealous. Jacob was being really sweet. He’d changed over the summer. He got more handsome somehow. Or maybe I’d changed. I wasn’t sure. But things felt different between us all of a sudden. And I was so freaking confused. I just needed a few minutes of silence to figure it out, but it seemed like that was impossible here. I needed to change the subject instead. “Wait, why are you trying to win over the heart of the new teacher?”

“I’m not.”

“You just said that a blowjob was the key to a man’s heart. And that you were going to blow our new teacher.”

“Oh.” She laughed. “There’s so many reasons to blow someone. Winning their heart is just one. A side effect if you will. In this case, I’m hoping for Mr. Halifax to combust at the sight of it. Can you imagine what Mr. Halifax’s face would look like if he walked in on me with the new teacher’s cock in my mouth? This is going to be epic. I’m already drooling.”

“You’re so weird.”

“What? Everyone says he’s beautiful. Certainly his penis is too. From my experience, beautiful men have beautiful penises.”

Axel and Jacob were both beautiful. But I had no idea what a beautiful penis looked like.

“I can’t wait to see our new teacher’s big, beautiful member.” She moved her hands apart a foot and lifted her eyebrows at me. “I bet it’s at least this big.”

So apparently beautiful just meant large. I rolled my eyes.

Sophie walked into our coding class and froze, almost making me bump into her. And then she started making a gagging noise.

“Soph, are you okay?”

“I’m gonna throw up,” she groaned and started coughing.

Oh my God. Where is the trash can? “Do you need to go to the nurse? Here, let me help.” I tried to reach out my hand for her, but instead of taking it she gagged again and gestured toward the front of the classroom.

What was she doing? “Soph?”

She kept flailing her arm toward the front of the room. “The new teacher is…is…he’s your…” She gagged again and her face was deadly pale.

I looked over to where she was pointing.

No.

My dad was standing there scowling, his arms folded across his chest.

Oh God no.

Staring directly at me like he was going to murder me.

What the hell is happening right now?

I looked back at Sophie and then back at my dad.

No. No, no, no. The new teacher was my…dad? Kill me now.

Sophie gagged harder.
