Did They… II 43C

Peggy licked her lips and sat up straight. “A few weeks ago, I started to noice I was getting a lot of greetings.” Steph’s forehead smoothed and a brow went up. That didn’t make any sense. But she listened. “I would be walking down the hall and a boy would just out of nowhere say hi to me...” Oh boys. Oh no boys! She kept calm, and looked attentive. No need to panic? Why is she panicking? She’s not panicking. It’s always been Trip but not boys boys. It’s probably something else. Most likely something else. She really needs to prepare for heartbreaks. Oh but it’s nice that she’s getting noticed. Is she seeing past Trip yet? Someone asked her out? Another one? It always starts with hi doesn’t it? She almost laughed.

“Peggy, don’t say you’ll think about it when you won’t it’s false hope.”

“No mom that’s not the point.”

“So you’ll think about it?”

“No. Are you even paying attention.”

“I am. I just wanted you to know that. And remember it. Keep going.”
