I looked over at the girl next to me. At her bundle of dark cocoa, curls bounced behind her with a red scrunchie printed with little small blueberries. She laughed. She was talking to someone. They made a joke. She laughed. But she didn't laugh, she emoted. She exuberated a giggle. She let out a tinkling bell signaling dinner. 

"Oh my God, you're beautiful"

"What?" she asked.

"What?! I didn't say anything!"

"Yeah you did, you said I'm beautiful"

"I'm so sorry I was just thinking and I didn't mean to say--"

She giggled.

Again.

"I'm Blossom". She stuck out her hand.

"I'm Lily" I replied, I shook her soft piano hand.

She giggled.

"We're flower friends now"

She giggled.

And she smiled. 

So did I.
