Unspeakable

Do it, one boy urged, bumping his friend’s arm toward Miranda.

Are you a chicken shit? the second boy taunted.

I jumped. I was too far away to hear them whispering, so why could I hear them when Miranda couldn’t? It was like the way I’d just seen what was about to happen. Now I was hearing them, too. Great.

Walking faster, I passed the boy just as he reached out. I rammed my body into his before he was able to touch Miranda.

“What the heck!” he yelled. He started to get up, his hand slipped on a puddle of water, and he hit the floor a second time. His face turned tomato red. A thick vein pulsed down the side of his neck.

Miranda swung around, looking at the boy who was still on the floor.

I shrugged. “Sorry, I slipped.”

“Dude, she totally body checked you,” one of the stupid idiots said.

Darn straight I did. Just be thankful I didn’t break out and go all Tae Kwon Do on your ass.

Smiling, I glanced across the room. Muriel was watching me with an odd expression. Knowing she saw everything, I turned away quickly, hoping if I ignored it, she would too.
