Chapter 36

After school, I met up with Melissa and Callie. Fortunately, Melissa had a class with Kevin before I could see her and he had somehow managed to come up with a suitable excuse. She passed that excuse on to Callie while I scanned the crowd for Micah. However, I found Kevin instead. “Hey,” he smiled at us widely. Callie beamed back at him and winked at me. I guess she was still hoping that Kevin and I would start dating and that the Klizzy ship would put itself back together and set sail. She gave Kevin a hug and a large smile. No matter how hard she and Melissa tried to be mad at him, they still missed him. After all, he was our best friend. Melissa gave him a smile followed by hard pat on the shoulder. After chatting with them for a while, Kevin placed his hands on my shoulders. “Do you mind if I borrow Liz for a bit? I’ll take her home,” he said with the most innocent expression. Callie blushed and Melissa stared at him curiously.
