My stomach churned again.

Was that why he’d approached me in the first place? Because I looked like her? Or had he known who I was and was just trying to somehow use me to get close to my mom?!

Seriously, what the F was going on?! “Adonis,” I said.

He looked down at me. “What’s up?”

What’s up?! That’s all he had to say?! What the F?!?! “What is going on, Adonis?”

“Your mom was my old teacher,” he said.

Well, I got that part! I needed so much more information!

He laughed. “Sorry old teacher was a poor choice of words. Your mom is certainly not old.”

Ah!

“Rob, get him out of here right this instant,” my mom said, clutching onto my dad like she was actually scared of Adonis. “Please. That boy is going to give me a heart attack.”

My dad didn’t look like he knew what to do. He stared at his brother for help deciding what to do.

Uncle James just shrugged.

“Wait,” RJ said with a laugh. “Didn’t you draw a penis on my mom’s board too? Classic.”

Adonis smiled. “Yeah I did.”

RJ looked impressed.

Liam laughed. “Hilarious.”

Was I the only one that had put two and two together here? Adonis liked my mom. It was the only explanation. He’d used me to get close to her. He...he’d lied about everything. I was going to be sick.

No. I shook my head. I was just being paranoid. There had to be another explanation. There had to be. It was...a coincidence. That’s it. Just a big coincidence. Adonis loved me. He’d told me he loved me. He wasn’t into my mom. That would be...that would be... Ah!

“Well, I mean, we’ve all pulled that prank before,” my dad said and slapped Uncle James on the back.

Uncle Matt nodded too.

“You can’t be too mad at the boy,” my dad said to my mom.

“That’s what I’m saying,” Adonis said. “It was hilarious, she totally freaked when she saw her chalkboard.” He gave my mom a flirtatious smile. “Right, Daphne?”

It looked like my mom’s head was about to explode. “That isn’t all he did with his penis!” my mom said. “He...he put his naked penis on my desk!”

WHAT?!

“What?!” my dad yelled, voicing my thoughts.

Adonis laughed. “Come on, Miss H, you know that’s not what happened.”

I breathed a sigh of relief.

“I put my naked ass on your desk,” Adonis clarified.

WHAT?!
