I could say these unfiltered things to him because he didnβt care. Wes Bennett knew what a mess I was underneath it all, and there was a little bit of joy in knowing he saw the real me. Freedom.

She bit down on the inside of her cheek and-holy shit-looked like she wanted to laugh. "Are you high, Wes Bennett?

Wes was looking at her. "You know how I feel about weirdos."
"Yeah, well, I don't share your fondness. This one sent me to the back of the boarding line for cutting."
"No shit?" He started laughing that contagious Wes Bennett cackle and said, "No wonder you're obsessed. There's just something about a girl who hates your guts."
"I'm definitely not obsessed," I corrected him, knowing full well I was still staring at Glasses.

Her eyebrows furrowed. "What are you doing?"
"What do you mean?"
"Are you being a dick about my hair? Because I know you're not complimenting me."
"Lizzie," I said, pouring on the tease, even though I fucking loved her new hair. It was shorter and cute as hell, but no way could I give her a genuine compliment.
We didn't do that.
So I said, "Your hair is the stuff of cheerleader fantasy. Of main character daydreams. Your hair runs so that young gingers' hair can walk."
She bit down on the inside of her cheek and-holy shit-looked like she wanted to laugh. "Are you high, Wes Bennett?

He lifted his head and looked down at me, his dark eyes flashing with intensity. βSay it again.β I swallowed as his hands pressed mine into the door. I looked into his eyes and said, βI love you.β βAgain,β he growled, his voice quiet, his eyes dark. He leaned his weight more heavily onto his palms and his body, into me, his throat moving around a swallow as he watched me. βI love you, Wes Bennett,β I confessed, wondering how Iβd ever thought it was possible to deny this. βI canβt remember a time in my life when I didnβt love you.

Are you high, Wes Bennett?β
"I'll answer that if you answer this: Were you playing BeyoncΓ© on the piano last night?"
Her green eyes went wide, and her mouth dropped open. "You heard me?"
"The windows were open," I said, shrugging like it was the first time I'd ever heard her, "and I was having a smoke out back. So was it 'Halo'?"
"You smoke?" She was looking at me like I was a puzzle, like she couldn't figure me out.
"No. Was it?"
The crinkle in her forehead grew somehow. "Yes. So ... do you or don't you?"
"Like Beyonce? Fucking love her."
She rolled her eyes. "Why do I even bother trying to have a conversation with you?"
"Because you're fascinated and want to know more."
She snorted.
"Because you find me wildly attractive and need some insight into my soul?"
"Try again."
"Because you want to reconcile the data you've entered into your diary about me with the real-life, actual facts?"
"So you are high.

Con lui potevo essere senza filtri, non gli importava. Wes Bennett sapeva che sotto sotto ero un disastro, e c'era qualcosa di confortante nel sapere che lui vedeva la vera me.
