>be Evan.

>be twelve.

>be talking to Josh Harris from down the street.

>Josh has just made out with someone for the first time.

>Evan is very curious to know what it feels like.

>Evan's parents have warned him to stay away from Josh, as Josh was seen torturing a frog he'd fished out of the corner pond one day, jabbing it with a sharpened stick and pinning it to the street.

>Evan doesn't know if it's true, because Josh has always seemed like a nice enough guy, but he's cautious around him as a result.

>What does her tongue feel like? Evan asks him.

>Josh considers, thinking.

>It feels like, if you take, like, maybe a slice of peach or something, and like, slide it around in your mouth. Kind of like that.

>Who was it with?

>Trent's sister. Lily.

>Lily? Where did you guys do it?

>In one of the sand pits back on the bike trail.

>No way.

>Yeah, she took me back there, said she had something to show me. Next thing I know she's all over me.

>How long did it last?

>I dunno, like, maybe fifteen minutes or something. Kind of hard to tell.
