Knee Deep
“From here we have a view of the stage, but are still just on the edge of the dim light. I’m not generally needed for much, but I continue to come and watch. It’s part of my “thing” for the year, so it seems like I should be here.
It’s been days since Shawn and I argued, but my wrist is still mottled in black and blue, and the stiffness is still making everyday stuff like carrying my backpack a pain in the butt.
“Aren’t you hot?” She grabs at my long-sleeves.
“Nope.” I fold my arms, keeping my wrist protected. I know she won’t understand. I don’t understand. I only know how rough his life must be for something so drastic to happen between us.
“Okay.” She reaches into her pack and pulls out our notebook. She should not be bringing that to school.
“So, you and Paul.” I lean in. “It’s still pretty awesome, huh?”
“It’s still awesome.” She grins. “How are you and Shawn?”
“So, so good.” Ever since our argument he’s met me in the mornings, and changed his work schedule.
