[This is as creative as his answer gets as a girl. When he (she?) notices Cora, Adam eyes the dark-haired guy like he really is growing a live rat from his face. Is he...? Could he be...?
Adam can't bring himself to ask if he's another victim of the body-snatching escapades, if this is an epidemic that's going around. Still, it'd be better than blurting out something ridiculous like he's half-tempted to do, like the curling iron beat me in a fight. At least, at the very least, the actual truth that he'd gotten beaten up by another girl is slightly more tolerable when he's now a girl himself.
And then, because he should say something even if he can't find the right words, he adds:]
You shouldn't. [A significant glance toward the gazebo.] Go there. I think it's cursed or something.
