October

“Nick, why are you scratching your butt?” Nick looked up, not realizing anyone had seen him trying to get the bug out of his shirt. “Oh, no. It was a bug.” “Up your butt?” by now, all the people around started to snicker. He felt his cheeks get bright red. And she knew what he was really trying to do. “Cassi, I was not!” he chuckled shyly. It did kinda look like he did, but he hadn’t!! “Sure you didn’t,” she teased. She was never going to let him live this one down. “You know I didn’t!” He reached in to hug her, but she pulled back. “Don’t you touch me with that hand! Eeewwww!!” Now everyone around them was laughing and laughing hard. Even Nick had to laugh. It would take weeks to clear his name. He just had to get used to her shrinking back from “the Hand”.
