At The Lake
Sitting in the sun with her friends at the lake, she hoped for Cannon Stevens to notice her, she hoped her mother wouldn’t notice her tan line, and she hoped she didn’t get burned.
Water hit her legs and she jumped up and ran towards Cannon who stood laughing in the shallows. Scooping water up with her hands, she splashed him and he grabbed her hands, his laugh turning into a silly grin.
That night, her mom flipped, “Bikini lines! Not on my daughter!”
Aloe couldn’t heal the cigarette burns on her stomach.
The lake water and Cannon’s touch did.
