⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ may have scraped her knee after falling off her board — . ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ with both eyes widening , the girl glances down at the sanitary wipe and the bandaid — and she shakes her head . ＂it’s just a scratch , relax .＂it’s something she’d always told herself growing up , never to let herself be babied . ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ where are her friends ? she wants to hit up the arcade , and everyone’s too chicken to break curfew . ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ it’s not even that bad ! — ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ what , a little blood’s gonna bother her ? she’s ( fine ! ) ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ with a huff and a roll of the eyes , max is dusting off her palms on her jeans . ＂okay , okay . fine .＂ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ carrying her board in one hand , she’s following closely behind — grumbling the whole way . ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ she’s okay ! — don’t worry , she’s used to getting banged up after falls . ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
