35. So What?
Neil was at his table eating breakfast when Rio visited him. She even brought some eggs, which he was grateful for even if he didn't show it.
He saw Rio giggle from the corner of his eye.
"What's so funny?"
"Your…your hair," she answered shyly. "It's always so messy."
Neil flinched as the girl reached for his tousled bed-head, smoothing his surprisingly silky locks down with her fingers. As her fingers disentangled from his hair, the previously smoothed strands spiked up again. She giggled.
Neil blushed. "So what?!" he snapped, turning his head away, covering his blonde mess defensively.
