Jamal's face still burned with embarrassment as he walked down the hall to go find Abigail.
His ears were hot, he could feel it. He could almost swear they were glowing red like two warning lights.
He groaned and rubbed his ears, shaking his head to get rid of Tom's and Lucy's teasing.
When he reached the Den, Abigail was still there with Brenda and Bella. They were all laughing softly, their voices warm and hush as they whispered secrets to Abigail.
Abigail's face lit up when she saw him, her laughter softening into a sweet smile that made his heart skip.
"Hey," he said quietly, standing by the door. "Can I steal my girlfriend? I believe she's spent enough time with you two."
Brenda grinned knowingly. "Of course," she said, rising to her feet. "We were just heading in for the night anyway."
"Goodnight you two," Bella added, smiling at Jamal before walking off with her sister.
