DIALOGUE
by
Morgana
“James?”
A girl’s voice
resonates from the
corner
of the room.
She is crying
and afraid
. . . for no particular
reason,
but tears always seem
to make things more
dramatic.
“Mira? You okay?”
The boy rushed to the
shaking shoulders
of his best friend
and held her tight
because
he wasn’t exactly sure
what else to do.
And as his secure arms
fastened
around Mira’s neck
her worries melted away
to reveal
Her love and admiration
for
the way he was able to
comfort her
too easily.
James awkwardly
pulled himself away from
her
But Mira watched him
let go gracefully.
“Thank you.”
Her two words
brought light to
his concerned face
and then
with bright red ears
he leaned over and
kissed her--
just on the cheek, of
course--
And sat next to her
and looked away
Until the next chapter,
in which we discover
that
he
already has a girlfriend.
