I also know about that book you have hidden in the bathroom. You know, ‘The Couples on Venus Lane.’ I’ve read it too, it’s all about swapping and it turned me on as much as it does you.. I saw a girl from my grade, Jessica, walking up to me and I stopped."Hi, Cody." she said softly. She didn't try to talk quietly, it was just the way her voice was.
