"Death" Scene: Tyler: "I'm not buying it."

I spin around ready to scream, but I end by collapsing in relief. I'm held secure in Tyler's arms. Tall, lanky, clumsy Tyler. His usually clear blue eyes are clouded with worry.
"Hey, hey, hey! Trisha, are you okay?"
Drawing a shaky breath I step away, breaking the circle of his arms around me. "Yes. I'm fine."
"No," Tyler steps forward and puts his hands on my upper arms. "You are not 'okay'". He ducks his head to look into my eyes. I try not to look at him, but he won't let me. "What's wrong, Trish?"
Pulling up a smile I say, "Nothing, you goof! You just scared me silly." Shaking my head and adding, "Sneaking up on me like that, geez!" Lightly I slap his arm.
"I'm not buying it." His words come out flat.
I look up at him with questions in my eyes.
"You're selling it for all you're worth, but I want you to know I'm not buying." His gaze deepens. "I know you're not telling me the truth."
I look away ashamed, my eyes and head tilted down and away from my close friend.
"I love you."
Startled I look up, shock written across my face, but he's walking away, his back facing me.
'Now what?' I silently ask myself. My answer: 'I honestly don't know.'

"Death" Scene: Imary the Fashion Diva

"You're wearing yellow?"
"Yeah. I read this article that said wearing yellow boosts energy and makes you happy."
"Well I'm here to tell you girl, that you need to change into some black. Because that yellow makes you look sick! And I don't mean the good way, I mean the green pallor way."
"Well It's a little late now. School starts in ten minutes. that's how long it takes to get to my house. I wouldn't make it in time."
"Are you doubting this diva? You're losing you're mind! You know girl that I got a closet in my locker! Get over here, STAT!" She practically throws me in the bathroom, "Hide! I'll be right back."

I come out in Imary's black sequin top. Usually I am violently opposed to sequins, but I discovered the impossible: Sequins can look good. In moderation. This polyester/rayon blended blouse is soft and light. It flows along my body. It ties just under the bust for a snug upper fit. The sequins frame a low V-neck and under the bust. With the modesty panel, it's perfect for me.
