Lucille Monologue

“Damn straight,” Charlie mumbled. “Sorry,” Scarlett shrugged with a small smirk on her face. “I thought that you kissed him by choice. I started to think that everything Trent was saying about me was true,” Charlie turned around to look at Scarlett. He had blood on his face with a split lip and a black eye. “It’s not though, is it?” Charlie whispered painfully. “Never,” Scarlett whispered and hugged him tightly. “I’m glad that you guys are happy, but what are we going to do with Trent?” Cameron asked awkwardly. “And I want to know how he managed to get two unauthorized weapons on campus,” Lucille demanded. “You’re joking, right?” Charlie asked bewildered. “What?” Lucille asked confused. “Trent said that he got permission from the …show more content…

“Yeah, that’s for sure. Well, I haven’t told you two my name yet, have I? My name is Crisofer,” the older man held his hand out to Charlie which he took firmly.
