“Nerds. You know, Mitch Mathews, Steve Daily, and Collin Fellers? Smart, glasses wearing, shirt tucked in dorks?” Erin said.
“Collin doesn’t wear glasses,” Reba whispered. Did Collin really get teased a lot? Not that she cared of course. But she couldn’t help feeling like she should do something about it.
“Duh! Don’t you see him wearing those ugly thick glasses whenever he reads?” Erin pointed out.
“Oh, I guess not,” Reba shrugged.
“Ya, and Cole is sticking up for them? How weird is that?” Erin asked.
“Very,” Reba answered.
“Okay, bye!” Erin said, giving Reba a quick hug and then skipping away.
Reba looked around her at the deserted school grounds and began to slowly walk home.
