"What do you want to talk about softball for?" Alisha asked, smiling. She glanced down at what Noah was holding. "Is it a softball?"
Noah laughed, looking a little awkward. It made me grin. "No...uh, I actually brought you a gift." He handed it to her. "It's nothing much. I was getting something else, and-"
"Thanks!" Alisha smiled and accepted the present, not willing to hear Noah's excuses. I figured she wanted to believe the gift was more genuine. It would suck if she knew it was just a cover for him to get pink dye for the twins. Alisha looked at me. "Is that box for me too?"
I shrugged. "You can have one. Jeremy signed baseball cards for everyone."
"Oh! Cool!" Alisha gripped the gift from Noah. "I'm going to go put this in my room real quick. Then I can show you were to put that box."
"Okay, we'll wait." Noah told her.
