That afternoon, Scarlett walked home with Micky and Mike. The couple held hands and constantly whispered to each other. Micky tried to stay ahead of them as much as he could.

He was trying not to get upset.

The three parted ways after awhile. Micky went to his house and Mike and Scarlett went next door, surprised to find nobody home.

"Huh, I thought for sure someone would be here," Mike smirked. He chuckled as Scarlett turned to him, pressing her cherry lips to his.

"I guess we should make the most of our time then."

They went into his room. He set the bag with the essay in it on the floor.

They pulled away for a brief moment and Mike began to undo his belt.
