145 The Girls Vs The Boys

Mary, Millie, and I sat in the shared space as we discussed our next book. I looked at the two of them, "Do you two have any ideas for the next issue?"

They thought for a moment. Mary spoke first, "What if they have a romantic moment behind a school building?"

Millie frowned, "We already had a scene like that."

I nodded, "Yeah, if we repeat ourselves it would get boring. Do you have any ideas Millie?"

Millie spoke unsure of herself, "I don't know... I'm not very creative.."

I nudged her on, "Come on, it won't hurt. Just say anything. This is a safe space."

Her eyes shined dangerously, "What about a graphic murder scene?!"

I blinked and then turned away, "So you two really don't have any ideas?"

Mary pouted, "You're the idea person Seri. Not us."

I sat back and rubbed my temples. I need to come up with an idea... Idea... Idea..

I snapped my fingers, "I got it! I have an idea!"

Mary clapped in excitement, "This is going to be good!"
