LOVE IS GREY Akhiyah Vaughn 12th Grade • Bremen High School
“Did you see Charlie’s new car? He looks so hot in it.” Bethany tugged onto my arm and I looked at her. “Right, my bad.” She let go of my arm but still stood so close to me I could smell her Japanese Cherry Blossom perfume. She reeked of it. I loved Beth, but I hated that scent. “No, I didn’t see Charlie’s new car. He gets a new one every weekend.” That was a true statement. Charlie was like super filthy rich, played all the sports at St. Luca School of the Arts, was accepted into 50 colleges, had a 27 on the ACT and a 1340 on the SAT. Every girl at this school was in love with him. Cliche, cliche. He wasn’t even all that. “I know but this one,” she sighed all dreamy like, “His new car is a 1987 Chevy Corvette. It’s super unique and ancient and the inside is leather and —” I stopped walking and turned to look at her. “Wait. How do you know what it looks like on the inside?” Bethany giggled and used her finger to twirl a piece of her dark brunette hair. “Well..” I internally gagged and put my hand up to silence her. “You know what, I don’t even wanna know.”
