Summary
There was this day—cold, late March, wind still mean—that stuck in Noelle’s mind like a grain of rice behind the gums.
She’d ducked into the corner store after school. Her mom didn’t like her going there, said the magazines by the register were trash and the cashier had too many piercings. But Noelle wanted a soda. Something sweet, just for her.
Kris and Susie were there already. Neither of them saw her. They were standing by the fridges in the back, heads close together. Susie was laughing at something Kris said. Kris’s hands were in their pockets, a little hunched, but their shoulders relaxed in that way they never were around anyone else.
And it was nothing. It was two people in a corner store. They weren’t touching, weren’t kissing, weren’t anything. But it was everything.
Noelle left without the soda.

Summary
"So you like that, then?" Amber asked me opaquely. "Do you enjoy it when I choose to torment you? When I 'speak plainly', as you've so often demanded of me in the past? Well? Is this more to your taste? Would you like it if I kept on speaking to you this way, and telling you exactly what to do?"
"I like it when you speak to me at all," I said tightly, clenching my fists at my sides and staring at her raised, clothed knee longingly. I wanted, impetuously, to push her skirt aside and run my hand over her long, slender leg. Wanted to kiss up it slowly, and then nibble at the crease just behind her knee to see if that spot was ticklish...
In which the quarrel is untangled, Amber is given her dues, and Fitz is brought willingly to his knees.
