using Miller for practice.
    My spirits immediately brightened. “You are so right,” I said, throwing my arms around Matt’s shoulders. “I’m probably overreacting.”
    “I think you’re overreacting with someone else, too.” He stood up.
    “Erin?” My voice hinted shame.
    “She’s been feeling horrible all day.”  
    “She should. She said I was jealous.”
    “Did she say you were jealous, or did she
ask
if you were jealous?”
    “Um, uhh…”
    He held out his hand. “Come on. She wants to buy you an ice cream to make up.”
    I gripped his hand and stood. “Um, maybe she could buy me a turkey sandwich. I’m starving.”
    Matt’s laughter filled the quad.
     
     

Chapter Six
     
     
    The word
boyfriend
is relatively new in the English language. It first appeared in print in 1909. I know that’s a long time ago, but when you consider how long the English language has been around, 1909 is pretty recent. Originally when people used the word, it meant something negative, like a married woman might have a secret relationship with a
boyfriend.
    Boyfriend
is one of the first words I became curious about when I developed my love of trivia. I wanted to know everything about the word. I figured the more I knew about
boyfriend
, the closer I would be to having one.  Unfortunately, this flaw in logic has left me with a head full of trivia, and not one boyfriend.
    However, a few days after Erin and I made up, she hit me with an interesting
boyfriend
proposition. We were once again in her bedroom, studying for a calc exam.
    “So, how are things with Suze?” she asked, sipping a diet soft drink, which was something I’d never seen her do. Erin loved her sugar.
    “Good.” I didn’t dare bring up Miller David and open
that
can of worms again.
    “You know, Megan, once you have your own boyfriend, I’m sure Suze’s dating won’t seem so bad.”
    “You’re right,” I said. Then I sighed. “Too bad I don’t even have a boyfriend prospect.”
    “Well… how about Guy Matson?”
    My breath caught in my chest as I recalled my double humiliation. “B… but you saw him first.”
    “That’s okay,” she reassured. “I’ve got my sights set on somebody else. Guy is all yours.”
    But I didn’t want him. I couldn’t imagine putting myself through a third embarrassing situation with him.
    It was then I realized Erin’s eyes were avoiding mine. There was something more to her giving up the handsome boy she had first dibs on so easily.
    “Okay, spill,” I said, trying to get her to look at me.
    “There’s nothing to spill,” she replied coyly.
    “Nothing? There’s something going down between you and Matt, isn’t there?”
    Her face brightened. “Yes!” she said with delight. “It all started that day when Matt was acting really funny about me having a boyfriend. I wasn’t sure at first, but he was talking about me and him.” That explained the diet drink.
    “I knew it!”
    “And then when you and I had the
misunderstanding,
we seemed to grow closer.” She looked at me seriously. “I mean… it’s okay with you, isn’t it? That’s the reason we haven’t acted on our feelings yet. We wanted to make sure it was all right with you first.”
    “All right? It’s excellent.” A smile blossomed on my lips. “I have to admit, though, I am a bit surprised. I mean, I love Matt, but he isn’t exactly the brightest bulb in the pack.”
    Erin laughed. “I know. But that’s what’s so cool about it. I never feel like I have to compete with him. And he doesn’t mind that I’m a mathlete.” Her face was suddenly serious again. “Are you
sure
you’re okay with this?” She took another sip of her diet drink and made a face.
    “Please! Matt‘s like a brother to me. You two are my best friends. Of course it’s okay. I’m happy for both of you.”
    “And now you’re free to go after Guy. I know you like him, but you haven’t made a move because I saw him first.”
    I could feel a knot
