No. Nothing weird at all.\" I moan as she recounts the night for me blow by blow. \"Listen,\" she says when she finishes, \"what's the deal with you two?\"\" \"What do you mean?\" \"You know what I mean.You two are inseparable.\" \"Except when he's with his girlfriend.\" \"Right.So what's the deal?\" I groan again. \"I don't know.\" \"Have you guys...you know...done anything?\" \"No!\" \"But you like him.And he likes you, too.\" I stop choking my pillow. \"You think?\" \"Please.The boy gets a boner every time you walk in the room.\" My eyes pop back open. Does she mean that figuratively or has she actually seen something? No. Focus, Anna. \"So why-\" \"Why is he still with Ellie? He told you last night. He's lonely, or at least he's scared of being lonely. Josh says with all of this stuff with his mom, he's been too freaked out to change anything else in his life.\" So Meredith was right. Etienne is afraid of change. Why haven't I talked about this with Rashmi before? It seems obvious now.Of course she has inside information,because Etienne talks to Josh,and Josh talks to Rashmi. \"You really think he likes me?\" I can't help it. She sighs. \"Anna.He teases you all the time. It's classic boy-pulling-girl's-pigtai-syndrome.And whenever anyone else even remotely does it,he always takes your side and tells them to shove it.\" \"Huh.\" She pauses. \"You really like him, don't you?\" I'm struggling not to cry. \"No.It's not like that.\" \"Liar.So are you getting up today or what?
