Alyssa
The golden afternoon sun cast long shadows as Alyssa and Devin walked side by side, their voices mingling with the sounds of the other students moving about.
School was out, and they were headed towards their martial arts class, laughter bubbling between them like a hidden spring.
"So, spill the beans.”
Devin said the moment they were out of earshot.
“What beans?”
Alyssa asked smiling acting like she did not know what her friend was talking about.
“are you and Marcel officially back together?" Devin teased, nudging Alyssa's arm. "Spill the details, girl!"
Alyssa blushed, a rosy tint creeping up her cheeks. "Technically, we did not break up," she mumbled, but her smile betrayed her.
"But yes, things are definitely..." she paused, searching for the right words. "Intense."
