I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You

The next day, Cammie, Liz, and Bex have their first driver’s ed class, for which Macy joins them since she’s their age. While Cammie sits in the back seat with Bex and Liz, she sees Josh outside and ducks down to avoid being seen, not wanting her homeschool cover story to fall apart. Bex and Liz urge her to look because the boy on the sidewalk is really cute. Cammie refuses, saying she doesn’t “care how wavy his hair is” (98), which makes Bex and Liz suspicious because they didn’t say anything about his hair.

Back at the dorm, Liz and Bex berate Cammie for not telling a teacher about Josh. They’re worried he could be a honeypot—a slang term for someone using sex appeal to infiltrate a group. Cammie tells them everything about her interaction with him, adding that she doesn’t think he’s a honeypot and that she doesn’t want to report him because she likes him. Bex and Liz decide to track him to see if he’s an enemy agent or just a normal teenage boy, figuring that he’s either trying to “infiltrate the Gallagher Girls through Cammie” or her soulmate (102).
