“Okay, no baby first years for me – no second years, either, which means the other cards are from lads in our year.”
“Ooh,” she squealed. “I’m intrigued.”
“Okay, so we’ve got… Rich, Keith, Mike, Jack, Ruairi, Alec—“
“That cheeky little shit,” Casey grumbled. “He gave me one, too. What does yours say?”
“To the girl with the best legs at school. Here’s a Valentine’s card. If you are reading this card, it means that you opened my folds, so it’s only fair that I get to open yours. From Alec.” I laughed. “Yours?”
“To the girl with the best tits at school. Please wear the white vest for PE next week. The visual of your bouncing tits has given me endless hours of joy. Feel free to flash a nipple. From Alec.”
“That sounds like Alec, alright,” I laughed. “Okay, so the last card’s the biggest one.”
“Paul?”
“Yep.”
“What did he say?”
My heart stopped when I opened the card, and I exhaled a shaky breath.
“Aoife?”
“Case, he’s after putting fifty euro in the card.”
“Are you serious?”
I stared at the note in my hand, feeling a swell of different emotions. “Why would anyone put money in a Valentine’s card?”
“Because he thinks he can buy a night of your company?” she laughed, but the joke hit a little too close to a nerve for me to laugh.
“I don’t want his money, Casey.”
“Give it to me,” she replied, not missing a beat. “I’m poor. I both need and want his money very much.”
“I’m pissed off.”
She sighed down the line. “You are sitting in front of a stack of cards from boys who adore you. There is nothing to be pissed off about.”
“But—“
“Do I need to come over there and slap some sense into you? Come on, Aoif. He probably put that in there because he’s panicking.”
“Panicking?”
“Yeah, babe. You two have been all over the place for months now, so the poor eejit is probably shitting pebbles in case you change your mind and run off with the Lothario of BCS.”
“Don’t.” I shivered. “That is never going to happen.”
“You really haven’t spoken to Joey since the fight?”
“I really haven’t, and I really have no desire to.”
“Well shit,” she said quietly. “You know, I really thought he might send you a card to break the ice between you guys.”
Yeah, me, too.“He’s not the type to give cards.”
“No,” she agreed. “But I thought that he would make an exception for you.”
