“Whoa.” That sent up an alarm bell. He signaled to Maddy to quit futzing with his hair, and the brunette recoiled and put her palms in the air.
‘Sorry!’ she mouthed before climbing back over the wall. There was a guitar in need of… something.
He shook his head. The two of them were cool. They were locked in perpetual bullying mode and didn’t take one another’s comments in offense.
“Wait a minute,” he said, sliding off the wall and gently touching Valerie’s elbow. He leaned in closer so she could hear him. “I never said she looks like a boy. Just a ten year old. A ten year old girl. Mostly because she’s dressed like one. It’s got nothing to do with…” He trailed off, deciding that the sentence was headed nowhere good. Maddy was one of the chillest girls he knew; he’d hardly disparage her looks.
“And, second of all, I thought we were joking. She hit on my girlfriend,” he counted off his thoughts on his free hand. “Said I’ve got a chick’s haircut… And you two joked about me jerking off in a sock, but I’m in trouble for my comeback?” He was lost.
