"Can I ask you something?"
She avoided my eyes.
Playing with her fingers.
She always looked everyone in the face.
"Yes."
I nodded.
Curious.
She laughed nervously.
Scratching the back of her neck.
"Ahah, nevermind, actually."
I pinched her arm hard.
When she backed out.
I knew she had something important to say.
I wasn't letting this go.
"Don't bullshit me.
What is it?"
I asked.
"Nothing!
It's nothing, ok?
Forget it."
My eyes might have deceived me.
But I could swear.
Her cheeks were tinting pink.
"You're being weird..."
I said skeptical.
This wasn't her at all.
"I will get him back for this..."
She started talking to herself.
So fast I couldn't keep up.
"Get who back for what-?"
"I said nothing!
Shut up would you?
Jeez."
I shut my yap.
But wasn't about to give up.
Not just yet.
She paced for a while.
One, two, three.
Turn.
Suddenly she turned.
Looked at me.
And started blabbing.
