Chapter 10 Not A Mistake

  Sophie and Troy walk together towards his car after school. She holds her backpack steady on her back gripping the straps tightly with her hands; Troy gestures her to stop, placing a five-dollar bill inside the slot and grabbing two soda cans out of the machine for each of them.

  "What? No soda for me? I get it, it's because I'm not long-haired and beautiful like Sophie huh?" Dylan startles them, walking behind them.

  Troy chuckles and hands him his can of soda." I was kidding man, I'll get my own." Dylan smiles, pushing the soda back to Troy.

  "Nah, it's cool. You can have it. I'll get another one." He says as he turns and places another bill and grabs another soda off the machine.

  "Thanks, man. Are you sure?" Dylan asks as he looks at him with a smile. 

  "Yeah, it's fine. No worries. Hope cherry Pepsi is ok? It's my favorite." He looks at him and winks his eye.
