He would look blank for a sec (he probably had no idea he'd dropped it; European history was first period ), then smile gratefully, hazel eyes crinkling at the corners, that mouth turning up in that unbelievably cute way. \" Wow.Thanks,Ella! I didn't even know I'd dropped it.\" See? And I would hand it over-if our fingers brushed, no complaints-and say, \"I saw the stuff inside.It's really...\" \"El. Ella. \" Sadie bumped me with her button again. \"Coming?\" \"Hmm?\" \"Where were you? Oh, yeah...\" She followed my slightly unfocused gaze and nodded. On her other side, Frankie snorted. She elbowed him.No button on the other sleeve.”",
