Calli
“Cherish asks, pointing her finger and nearly knocking over my glass of orange juice.
“A note.” I cover the handwriting so she can’t read what I’ve written to Dub so far. There isn’t much.
“Not that.” Cherish grabs the engraved pen out of my hand. “What are you doing with this?”
“It’s mine. Mom gave it to me awhile back.” I reach to snag it from her, but Cherish slaps my hand away.
“It was on my desk last time I saw it. Are you taking my things?”
“No! You’re always taking my things!”
“Calm down,... girls,” Mom says, sipping her peppermint tea. “You both have a bus to catch this morning and school to think about.”
“I’ll buy you each a new pen if you quit fighting,” Liz adds like it’s that simple.
I don’t want to give the pen back, but I also don’t want Cherish to be suspicious. “If it means that much to you, you can have it. Even if it belonged to my biological father.”
I slide it over, and Mom gives me a smile of approval.
“That’s okay,”MoreLess
