B-L-U-E

Holly rolled her eyes. “We need a final decision. How about neither of our groups of friends?â€?

“Hell no.â€? Trey snapped quickly. “We sit with the guys because we both know it annoys you when your friends drool at me.â€? He smiled triumphantly, knowing Holly wouldn’t disagree because he was right. “Now … about your neck.â€? He said nervously.

“I don’t have a big hoodie.â€?

“Do you have make-up to cover it up?â€?

“That woman took my make-up on the first day. And even if I had it, it couldn’t cover up all this.â€? She motioned at her throat and Trey winced. He would never admit it but this conversation made him uncomfortable.

“Fine. Let me see if I have a hoodie.â€?

“I’m wearing blue. Like the sky. B-L-U-E.â€? She spelled for him with a giggle.

Trey looked through the drawers that were made under the bed and grumbled, “I’m not stupid. I know, I know.â€?

“One could argue against that.â€? Holly whispered with another giggle. It seemed like they both had forgotten about everything that happened yesterday.

For now.
