She's avoided looking right at me, but now she turns her head and our eyes lock. I'm not even going to think about how wrong it is because it feels so right. With a slight shift of my hand, I lace my fingers through hers. I feel a need to protect her and be her champion should she ever need one. It makes her seem more delicate and petite than I'd realize. As if she knows my thoughts, we both turn our hands at the same time so our hands are palm against palm.finger against finger. When I look back down at my hand covering hers, I'm grateful she hasn't come to her senses and pulled away. Everyone else is oblivious to the intensity of emotions running rampant in the back of the public bus. I feel awkward and inexperienced as a freshman again. It's more erotic, more intense than any other time with Kendra. I swear touching her like this is driving me nuts. God, her skin is so soft, I think as my fingers trail a path from her wrist to her knuckles to her smooth, manicured nails. When the tips of my fingers touch her wrist, she freezes. I bite my bottom lip as I slide my hand about millionth of a millimeter closer to her hand. I want to touch her, but what if she pulls away like before? I've never been such a wuss with a girl in my life. She's knotting her fingers together on her lap as if she doesn't know what to do with them. It's something I've tried to avoid and deny until yesterday, when I held her in my arms while her tears spilled onto my shirt. I don't even know what I'm feeling for Maggie, I just know that I'm feeling. I'm not a virgin and the slightest touch of a girl's knee is driving me insane. Does she notice the heat transferring from her body to mine? Does she even realize what she's doing to me? I know, I know. (She also loves sushi, which you can probably tell by reading her books.) Simone writes about teens because she was a teen in the 80s (when spiked hair and blue eye shadow were rad) and she loves writing about those exciting teen relationships and romances.“I look down at our knees, slightly touching. She also spends time mentoring other teen and adult authors. In her spare time she's the Hockey Mom for her kids hockey teams and is an active Girl Scout leader specially trained in outdoor education. She loves animals (she has two dogs - a labradoodle and a German Shepherd), kids (she also has two of those) and her family. She continued her education at Loyola University-Chicago where she received her Masters of Science degree in Industrial Relations while working for a manufacturing company creating diversity programs for their employees. Simone went to the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign and received her Bachelors of Science there in Psychology in 1992. Simone Elkeles was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, where she still lives today.
