“I like the blue streak in your hair. It’s cute.”

“You don’t think it looks stupid?”

“No, it’s ok. Different.”

“When are you getting out?”

“I don’t know. It depends. Court is next week. You should come. It would give me a chance to see you.”

“I don’t think I can get out of school.”

“You should try.”

“Okay, but the last time in court, they wouldn’t even let me talk to you.”

“Well, sometimes they say it’s okay. So you should come. I want you to come. Okay? Say you’ll come. Okay?”

“Okay. I guess.”
