our love song (it's sweeter than sugar)
Susan rushed over to Ernie, wrapping her arms around his shoulders. "Hi, Erns!" she exclaimed happily, letting go of him and smiling before sitting down.
"Where's my hug?" Justin asked, laughing, as the train began to move from the station.
"You don't deserve one," Susan said, but her heart was racing.
Did she really just hug Ernie without thinking of the consequences? Was she stupid? Of course her friends were going to ask questions like that, they didn't know of her unrequited love for Ernie…
Hannah smiled at her, blonde pigtails falling into her face. "Your hair looks nice, Suze," Ernie said, reaching out to touch the red curls. "Did you get it cut?"
Susan blushed, nodding. "Thank you."
"It suits you," he said earnestly.
They were reminded of their friends presence when Eloise loudly said, "Just ask each other out already and get it over with."
Ernie blushed, sending Eloise a quick grin. "You up for it?" he asked, looking back at her.
Susan's heart thumped. "Do you mean it?" At Ernie's nod, she softly said, "Yes."
