Fifty Odd Words No. 12

The boy refused to look up, he studied his thumbs with an uncertain intensity. I tried calling to him again. The girl shot at me with vermillion eyes; her chin held up.

What's your problem? He doesn't want to talk to you.

I should have told her it was not a matter of want, but of need.

I like the word 'Vermillion'. It's nice to say.

This is my second favourite.
