Sophie drove into the driveway. Keefe climbed into the car, untangling the oxygen cord.
"Ready for your first day back?" She smiled at him.
"As I'll ever be," he shrugged.
Sophie went through her day at school. Eventually, lunch came around. She took her seat at lunch as the rest of her friends slowly filed into the room, filling in the table. Keefe was the last one to sit down.
"Hey guys! So what have I been missing. What's the rumors going around? Anything juicy?" He asked.
"Welllll," Tam said. "You've been the rumors."
His eyebrows rose. "Wow. I have?" He laughed. "Nice to see that people care about me."
Sophie wrapped her arms around him, laying her head on his shoulder. "Of course people about you."
His smile softened when his eyes met hers. A warmth replaced playfulness in his eyes. She let him lean down to connect their lips together and cup her face.
Gagging noises cut them off. They pulled away to find Tam making overdramatic retches. Sophie rolled her eyes when Dex shouted out, "NO PDA!"
Several heads in the room turned their direction. Sophie went and shoved him.
"I'm going to keep that in mind, Bangs Boy," Keefe said, pointing at Tam. "You're going to have a fun time when I run across you're and Marella's make-out spot."
Tam sighed. "Listen, I'm glad you're better. But CHILL!"
He crossed his arms. "How about no?"
"I give up," Tam decided.
"Don't worry," Sophie assured him. "I gave up a long time ago. I've had to accept that here's no cure for stupid."
"Hey!" Keefe pouted.
Sophie laughed. She brushed his hair away from his eyes.
"Pda!" Dex yelled.
"Who are you? The Pda police?" She accused.
"Why, in fact, I am."
She was taken aback when he reached into his bag to pull out a badge that read 'PDA police'. She had several questions. First of all was how?
"Why?"
Dex giggled. "Found it on Amazon. Couldn't resist."
"Of course you did," she exasperated. "I'm going to remember that."
On the drive home from school, Keefe looked stressed. He kept fidgeting with his oxygen tube, twirling it around.
Sophie reached for his hand. "You alright?"
He nodded. "Just class work. I have about two full stacks of it that need to get done. You'd think about dying would cut me some slack, but nooooo," he muttered bitterly.
She squeezed his hand. "I'll help you with it," she promised. "It'll get done."
He sighed, leaning hus head back in the seat.
