“Hi”

“You okay?”

“Yeah sure,” I said bitterly “I was just… uh… adjusting my phone”

I tried to crack a s to retrieve my phone, she entered the room and bounced down on the bed next to me

“The screen’s cracked,” she said hesitantly “But I think it still works”

Tiny shards of glass flaked away as she ran her finger over the screen All of a sudden she jerked her hand back in pain

“O!”

Before either of us could react she ja it I felt terrible as I took her by the wrist

“Here, let me see…”

There was a tiny cut along the pad of her finger Nothing too bad Glancing up I reached out and swiped a tiny droplet of blood froreat lips

“Oh”

“I’hed “That was my fault I’m an asshole”

“No you’re not” She sainst her thu to is the real asshole”

I didn’t say a word There really wasn’t anything to say

“That was Holly, wasn’t it?”
