Lies, Old and New

Jillian couldn't seem to tear her shiny green eyes away from the cheap snow globe with the lit-up blue jellyfish inside. Funny thing was, the reason she couldn't shift her eyes came from the same reason they were shiny with tears that were threatening to fall. Hell, nothreaten about it... they were coming, and coming soon.

A sigh, then a deep, regretful mutter finally broke the silence of too many minutes. "Jelly..."

That did it.

At hearing the nickname from him that she'd tried to quash years before, a sob escaped Jillian's lips before she sealed them shut, but that was more than enough to humiliate her, and she reached out to snatch up the snow globe with both hands and clutch it to her chest. "...can I take this back?"

She still wouldn't look at Bash, but she could see his face anyway; it wasn't hard to fill in the blanks with the avalanche of memories available to her after a dozen years. His pale blue eyes were crinkled at the corners because he was frustrated... that one line across his forehead would appear because he was concerned... the left side of his mouth was up higher than the right because he was about to...

"Is it because you got caught with some weed?" Another couple steps. "Is it because you pushed that girl in the hallway last week?" Closer... closer... "Or is it because you called Principal Kowalski a... what was it? Rancid cunt?"

Jillian hugged the snow globe tighter before she answered. It was all she could think to do. "All of the above. I... it all came out, I guess. Right? It's too much to ignore... right? Even you can't smooth this--"

It was the big mitt coming down on her shoulder and squeezing that shut her up even before Bash began answering his own questions. "Jelly..." No moreMiss Drevin, apparently. "...we don't expel for an ounce of weed. If we did, the five kids we have left would get pretty lonely." He chuckled at himself then, and it was all she could do not to reflexively respond in kind. "And at least a dozen other students saw Kristy Park try to hip-check you into the wall before you turned the tables on her." He paused for dramatic effect then. "And Principal Kowalskiis a rancid cunt... though that one you probably should have kept under your hat." He ...
