Hes fine. Every time any of us are late you imagine were dead. You are no longer allowed to imagine anyone is dead.Im not imagining hes dead, I whisper, but Im totally imagining him bleeding to death on the snowy forest floor. Crows circle above him. A pixie arrow juts out of his beautiful chest. Its the same thing I imagined about Devyn last week when he forgot to check in.You are such a liar-liar pants-on-fire. Is kisses my cheek in her sweet friend way. But I love you.I just worry about people, I whisper back. If Im not the one out there I feel so helpless.Coach Walsh notices were talking. Girls, pay attention. And no kissing.Everyone starts snickering. I let go of Issies goose-bump covered arm. My face gets hot, which means Im in insane blush mode. Nick thinks insane blush mode is cute. I bend down and check on my ankle bracelet that Nick gave me. Its gold and thin-chained. A tiny dolphin dangles off of it. The dolphin reminds me of Charleston because they swim right off the Battery. Next to it dangles a heart, which just reminds me of lovecorny but true. Im so afraid of losing the anklet, but I cant take it off. I adore it that much.
