“Oh we’ll hold you accountable. Don’t you worry!” And if not, they will. “You just gotta keep your hands busy.” Something about that statement made her want to blush. “–And stop thinkin’ about it! Anytime you wanna do it, just tell us first. We’ve got you covered.” Sarah hated how sometimes when she said we, she really wanted to say me. The three of them were best friends, but sometimes, she felt this weird craving to have Sawyer all to herself. She shook it off “I missed you, too,” she whispered. Therapy dragged on a constant rhythm of foot taps and hair twirls—and it couldn’t have ended soon enough. Wanting to catch up with Sawyer was making her antsy, and she let out a sigh of relief when it was finally over. “I wanna hear ‘bout everything, but real food sounds like a dream,” she admitted. “We can do both, but—” she glanced down at her frumpy uniform, “I ain’t goin’ out in this. Change first?”
Sawyer smiled and shrugged. “I think that you look good in that, but that may just be a biased opinion because honestly? I think you could pull off anything.” Sawyer knew how it sounded, and she knew how she meant it to sound, but she hoped that Sarah didn’t take it that way. No matter how she felt about the other girl, it was too risky to actually be overly flirtatious. If it wasn’t reciprocated, Sawyer could lose everything because of that and she’d rather have Sarah in her life as a friend than as nothing at all. “But yeah, let’s go change. Probably good to get out of this juvie outfit too.” She admitted. They had given Sawyer her normal clothes back but she hadn’t changed into them because of how dirty they had been. All the cops did was stuff them in a bag and Sawyer would rather be in her clean juvie clothes than her month old dirty clothes.”We can go change, go sneak out and i’ll treat you to a nice dinner and we can stay at the table for hours and catch up. You know, like those cheesy friends in those cheesy tv shows.”
Sawyer had wanted to say that they would be like those couples on first dates who stayed in one spot talking forever, but it was too bold. This wasn’t a date, no no. Not a date. Just two friends, catching up. As much as Sawyer could hope that it would turn out like that, they were just best friends and she didn’t want to get her hopes up for anything more. “I’m really excited for this. I mean I know I said it earlier but I really meant it.....I really missed you Sarah.”
