A/N-Sorry it took so long to update! I know it is short, but the next one will be longer.
After digging my hole the next day I met Magnet in the tent like the day before. He was sitting on my cot fiddling with a letter and facing the other direction. I quietly tip-toed behind him and grabbed his shoulders.
"Whatcha doin'" I asked, causing him to jump. He stood up quickly and handed me the letter.
"Mom wanted me to give this to you," he said. I read who it was from and smiled. Brainy! I ripped it open and began to read.
Hey Switch,
Jail isn't to bad and Devil being here makes it even better. Your folks came and seen me yesterday, talking about sending you to some summer camp once you get out. Got into my first fight today cause someone tried to steal Devil's gold locket she jumped that rich lady for. You were right about one thing, you change in jail. I seen Betty Chase, that girl from my biology class, she's in here for prostitution! She tries to hang out with me and Dev, but Devil always runs her off. Well I have to go, but you better write me soon!
Your Pal,
Brainy
I smiled and wiped the tears from my eyes.
"You're crying for a good reason, right? Cause I don't do to well with weeping chicas," Magnet teased. I laughed.
"Na, I just really miss my friends," I said sitting down on my cot. Magnet sat next to me and faced me, his brown eyes glowing.
"I know, I miss my brother a lot," he said never taking his eyes from mine. My eyes wondered to his lips and I bit mine. I wanted to taste him, to feel his hands run over my body. I swallowed hard and looked away.
"We should probably start on the lesson," I said awkwardly. Magnet blinked and cleared his throat.
"Yeah, we probably should," he said rubbing his neck. All through the lesson I kept glancing at Magnet and most of the time he was staring back at me. I wasn't really paying attention and finally we decided to hear the the wreak rec room. I immediately saw Animal and dashed over to her.
"Whoa, what's on fire?" she chucked as I grabbed her arm and pulled her outsider. "What's wrong?"
"I think I like Magnet!" I blurted out. She raised her eye brows.
"Yeah, have fun with that," she said, heading back towards the rec room.
"No, I don't want to like him, but I don't know what to do," I whined.
"You've had plenty of boyfriends before," Animal pointed out.
"That isn't the point! I don't to date him! I wanna make this stupid feeling go away," I said. Animal rolled her eyes.
"Listen, I ain't very good at this shit so write Soot and ask her," she said, obviously annoyed. I glared at her, but turned and headed back to the tent to start my letter to Soot.
