The Last Laugh

Katie/George

She smiles at him, the light in her eyes as she looks up at him one that outshines his own, even when he's just pulled the best prank ever, or so he thinks. She elbows him in the ribs, mutters something about how people will talk if he won't stop staring at her, and walks off, shaking her head in that way only girls can do. And he watches her as she walks off, taller than any girl and most boys on the team, all height and lean limbs as opposed to the curves he used to noticed on the other girls.

He never thought he'd get beaten at his own game - he knows only too well that this time, the joke is definitely on him.

But he doesn't mind, not one bit.
