Wish
Like this girl, my sister also had a delicate disposition.
Why would her family send someone like her to this hell zone?
She takes a few steps and one of the boys calls out, “Hey, melons! Come sit with us!”
It’s not hard to understand where the nickname came from, as vulgar as it is. The girl’s face flushes, and my upper lip curls in disgust. To my shock, however, she begins walking in their direction. Maybe it’s because she can’t find a seat up front.
Just before she passes my seat, I move to the side, making room for her. “You can sit here.”
