Matt Archer: Blade's Edge
“Mrs. Stevens smiled broadly as Mamie took her diploma in shaking fingers, and Mom, Brent and I shouted and waved from the stands when she moved her tassel from left to right. I couldn’t get over how great my sister looked. The black gown with the blue honors stole suited her perfectly—she looked like a college professor, especially with her hair hanging down her back in waves instead of done up in her usual pigtails.
“Oh, my baby girl’s all grown up,” Mom said, crying a little. “She’s a col...lege girl now.”
“I’ll tell you this much,” Brent growled, “any frat guy puts the moves on her, I’m beating him down.”
I nodded emphatically. “I’ll take you up on your offer to help with the beatings. I’m pretty good in a fight, you know.”
Brent snorted, but gave me a fist bump anyway. It was nice to agree on something for once.
We sat through the next three hundred and eighty names, sweltering under the sun.MoreLess
