And twelve-year-old boys thought they knew everything. And Liam knew, with all of his heart, that he loved Olivia Chen.  . . . She looked very pretty in that dress. Her party dress. It was modest, of course. It went past her knees and was a deep dreamy purplish-blue. Her hair was down and wavy from the braids she had it in before.
