Laney frowned, the thought of changing back momentarily forgotten. "Yeah." She turned an awful shade of pink and her cheeks got noticeably hot. She had never had a reason to blush before-- she didn't really have any reason to be embarrassed ever. But now was one of those times, and Laney didn't like the feeling. "It was just...you know. He mentioned that he had never and I had never and it was to see what it was like."
She bit her lip. For calming him down, reexplaining something that kind of seemed like a dead subject probably wasn't helping. She sort of regretted bringing it up now, but that didn't stop her from feeling like she had to defend her side. For one, Laney didn't know what Carter had told him. And for another...Alfie shouldn't have heard it from him. "I kinda wish I waited though. That sort of thing is probably better with best friends, and not just science fair project partners." She looked away from Alfie then, twiddling her fingers in her lap. "It wasn't what I thought it would be. It was kind of gross with Carter. No fireworks."
Movies always said there were supposed to be fireworks, didn't they? Laney definitely didn't see any of those. "And he said the Pledge of Allegiance afterward. What a nerd, right?"
