“Hey!†He was not trying to hold back his grin “I was looking around and feeling kind of lonely and then I saw you and was like ‘There’s my people!â€Â
This is where he knew something was crooked. Sometimes I slipped into silence but I always giggled at his jokes.
I stared so hard he blurred.The only thing I could make out was his hair, it had grown back so fast.
“Shandy?†Something was strange about the way he spoke; I had never heard concern in his voice before. His arm was a white blur, closer and closer, reaching for my shoulder. I screamed a shriek that startled even me. The glaze broke off my eyes and as soon as his fingers touched me every touch came back. This time I would fight, this time I wouldn’t sulk and sob, this time I would do it right. My knuckles popped his lip. The red was bright and smeared on my right hand. I started with my left, alternating hands with sporadic slaps and hits. My eyes were dripping water, I couldn’t see his face and I was glad I couldn’t.
