stil wanna know,” Tex said.
    “It’s hard to explain,” I put in.
    “I’l bet it is,” Al y said.
    I closed my eyes and I was pretty sure I was gonna throw up.
    Then Indy said to me, “He’s a good guy you know. His family has been in this country for three generations. He’s as American as you and me. His grandmother is even Irish Catholic, for God’s sake!” she ended up shouting.
    I winced, like she’d hit me.
    “You don’t have to tel me that. I don’t care if he’s only just come over the border!” I was getting kind of panicky.
    Al y made a noise that sounded kinda like a snort, an angry snort.
    “No, that didn’t sound right. You don’t understand,” I said.
    “No. I don’t understand,” Indy said, leaning into me.
    I tried to explain, “I just have a problem with his kind, his type. I always have. It isn’t only him, I have a problem with Lee’s guy, you know, the Native American one, Vance.” Indy looked like her head would explode.

    Indy looked like her head would explode.
    “No!” I yel ed, “That didn’t sound right either. I have kind of a problem with Lee, and Hank too!”
    “What the fuck’s the matter with you!” Al y yel ed.
    “It isn’t their ancestry. It’s that they’re hot!” I shouted.
    Everyone went silent and stared at me.
    I felt like an idiot, but I had to keep going.
    “They’re hot, Eddie especial y. I get stupid and shy around good looking guys. I always did. Nothing I ever do is right, nothing I ever say. I try to avoid them; I found it’s the best way. The thing is, Eddie and I got caught alone in the kitchen and he was being kinda weird with me. I started panicking and I tried to explain that he was hot but it came out al wrong, ‘cause how do you tel a guy he’s hot? He got the wrong idea, got mad and left, and… um, that’s it.”
    “Are you fuckin’ shittin’ me?” Tex said.
    I shook my head and bit my lip.
    “You like him,” Indy said. She wasn’t looking at me like she wanted to strangle me anymore, which I took as a good sign.
    “Wel … ” I said, “… yeah.”
    Liked him, no. Loved him and wanted to have his babies, um, shit yeah.
    Indy smiled. “I knew it!” she yel ed. “That’s great! You have to tel him, I think he—”
    “No!” I shouted, “No, I can’t tel him, you can’t tel him either.”
    Al y came around by Indy; she was smiling too, “You have to tel him.”

    “I’m not going to tel him. No one can tel him.”
    “No one can tel who what?”
    The voice came from behind us. It was Lee. He was looking at me like I’d crawled out from under a rock.
    “Jet’s not a racist, she’s got a big ole crush on Eddie,” Indy announced, al smiles.
    I closed my eyes and I felt my face heat up.
    When I opened my eyes, Lee was looking at me.
    “Strange way of showin’ it,” he said.
    “She’s fuckin’ shy. Gets tongue-tied. Says stupid shit,” Tex summed it up quickly.
    “Please, can we stop talking about this?” I asked.
    “No way!” Al y said, “I’ve been watching Eddie with you and I’m pretty certain—”
    “Al y,” Lee cut her off.
    “Please!” I cried. “Can we stop talking about this and you al have to promise not to say anything to Eddie.”
    “You want him to think you’re a racist?” Indy stared at me like I just beamed down from Mars.
    “No! Of course not but… um, yeah. It would make avoiding him easier.”
    “You’re loopy-loo,” Tex said.
    “Shut up Tex.” Al y came up and put her hand on my arm,
    “Seriously, Jet…”
    “Please,” I said (or kinda begged).
    Luckily, Lee came to my rescue and when he talked, people listened. “Let her be.”
    “Lee!” Al y dropped her hand from my arm.
    “You al have to promise not to say anything,” I said.

    “Sure!” Indy replied quickly, so quickly I thought maybe she was lying. I also saw Lee’s eyes narrow on her and then he shook his head and the crinkles by his eyes deepened. I got the impression that I was in more
