Lisa smiled as she took the dice from Bobbi, and rolled a five. Her figure got to its crossroads and she said "well, if the game wants us to get to know you two better, I guess my only choice is to go in Bobbi's direction." So she did, by one step.
The dome said "Romance: Trade crushes with a player of your choice."
The message made me think back to Bobbi's and my situation. I looked over at Lisa's direction, but really I was looking at Bobbi, who was seated between us. Yeah, even in her new masculine body, I still loved her.
Until Lisa said, "I think I've gotten to know Bobbi well enough. I choose Jesse." And in that split second, I no longer felt any longing for the girl sitting next to me. Lisa's eyes opened wide as she looked straight at me, then straight at Bobbi, then straight down to her lap.
Jen, Amy, and Tina burst out into a chorus of questions, which just made Lisa blush and clam up, but I was dealing with my own subtle problems. I tried to think about Bobbi, and all the reasons I liked her, but someone else came up in my head.
Aviad Ben-David. The Israeli student who transferred in last Winter. He goes by Avi, and his dark skin and tight chest just did it completely for me. Not to mention the fact that he just looks adorable at shoul when he's wearing his kipah. He immediately joined the school's soccer team after he transferred, and he's become our star defender. Part of why I like him is because he's into sports as much as I am, but another part is because Israelis are so crude, and that gives him "bad boy" allure.
How did I know all that? How do I know what Avi looks like in a kipah? How the hell do I know what a shoul is? While everyone was pouring down on Lisa, I was quietly panicking. I couldn't remember the first time I'd met Bobbi. Couldn't remember parts of our first date. There were holes in my memory, and they seemed to be filled with information about Avi.
Finally, Lisa said "Enough already," and the girls backed off of her. As she handed the die to Jen, I wondered how much information she got about me and Bobbi from the exchange. Did she know my secret?
