COLIN AND ME - II

Melody gulped and cleared her throat, "Ahem! How.. did you know?" Colin looked, "About?" Melody pinched his thighs, "I can't shout, but I can attack you. So, don't pretend to be innocent.." she constantly traced her eyes around to see if her parents were noticing her talking to Colin. Sitting at the dinner table, Melody had been strictly instructed, to behave herself and keep quiet. Hence, she kept whispering to Colin. 

She was lucky tonight because Vince was in his room with his friend studying for the test that was to happen the next day, so Melody took full advantage of this opportunity to talk to Colin. Her parents were never on the same page, they either were having a cold war or buried in some debate, never noticing the entry and exit of Melody. Not that they cared about her anyway. But, tonight that was the second advantage Melody had over the situation. Melody was not letting it go that easily.
