“I did,” Frankie agreed. “Barely. You almost took us out, Jessica.”
Ahhh, so the taller of the two blondes was Jessica. Noted.
The shorter of the two blondes snorted. “We did not.”
“Oh, you totally did,” Frankie said. “Ashley, I swear to God, I could see the tire tread quite
clearly right before you whipped into our lane.”
Ashley rolled her eyes. “Whatever.”
Frankie rolled hers, too, and walked in my direction, her hand coming to meet mine.
“Y’all, this is…” She paused, unsure what to say.
“Luca,” I murmured. “My name is Luca.”
That was about the only pleasant conversation between Jessica, Ashley, Frankie, and myself.
The moment they saw me, their eyes went wide.
One would think that they wouldn’t be working toward becoming a doctor with how they acted.
“Does that hurt?” Jessica asked, almost reaching out and touching my face.
Frankie slapped her hand away.
“Jessica,” Frankie hissed. “I realize that you’re beyond curious by nature, but you don’t have to
be an ass to be curious. You could ask and not touch. Never touch.”
Jessica shrugged. “I’m sorry. I’m just… it looks like it hurt. How did it happen?”
Frankie ground her teeth together, went to snap at her, but I shook my head.
Grabbing her hand, I said, “Y’all ready to go eat?”
Jessica and Ashley started walking away, teetering in their too-high-to-walk-straight high heels.
Frankie shook her head at the two.
“Jesus,” she said. “Sometimes I feel like I’m parenting a couple of two-year-olds when it comes
to them. Do you know how embarrassing they are?”
No. No, I had no idea whatsoever.
But I did realize that people were curious when it came to my scars.
Who wouldn’t be?
I mean hell, the only thing that wasn’t fucked up on my face was my lips, eyes, and nose. My
cheeks were scarred to hell and back. There was a burn mark that started on my right cheek and
moved down the length of my neck.
And my ears were malformed.
