Young Love


                Angelique pushed the food on her plate from one side to the other, but didn’t eat more than a couple of bites.
                Rosalia frowned. “Is your skirt too tight again?”
                The other girl blushed. Her lack of appetite at supper this night had nothing to do with having gained any weight. “No. I’m just not very hungry tonight.” She glanced at where Randy was sitting with Marcel and Zephel. He didn’t seem to have any more of an appetite than she did.
                As everyone neared the end of the meal, Randy rose and cleared his throat. “Most of you will probably be surprised by this. Angelique and I. . . Angelique and I are-”
                “A couple,” Olivie interrupted.
                Angelique was certain her face was at least as red as the ribbon in her hair. She would never forget how Olivie had discovered them kissing not so long ago. She rose, her entire body trembling, and walked to Randy’s side. She took his hand and smiled up at him. “Yes, we’re a couple now.” She was surprised at how firm her voice sounded. Her smile broadened and she kissed his cheek.
                Yes, they were a couple now. And she hoped they would be forever.
