Summary
“What, are you jealous?”
“Of you? No, Hayden is not my type. I prefer pretty girls.”
“Don’t be a bitch.”
Lily laughs, loud and harsh. “Hollander, you are allowed to laugh! I am hilarious. And you did not notice that I flirt with you.”
The words bounce around Jane’s head, especially “flirt”—loud and clear. Her mouth goes dry, heart thud thud thudding in her chest. “I don’t think that word means what you think it means.”
“Mm, I think so,” Lily says, head tilting. “It is word for expressing interest, yes? For sex?”
Jane’s stomach twists, a familiar—but vaguely nauseating—feeling rushing through her. She doesn’t—she’s not—“I’m not gay.”

Summary
Ilya asked Shane’s father while Shane and his mother were talking outside: “Is boyfriends correct? Lovers is incorrect, but I am not sure what is correct.”
“Well,” Mr. Hollander said. “‘Lovers’ is usually used for, hm, a mistress or an affair. Something kind of sordid. Though--you would say Romeo and Juliet is a play about two lovers,” he said. He paused his knife on the chopping board. “Somehow that’s right and using it for real people isn’t right. English is a damn funny language, Ilya."
“Yes,” Ilya said from the bottom of his heart.
