Scarfed Down (The Devereaux Story)/Chapter 2

"Eska? You still in here?"

Spiro opened the door gently to see if his best friend was here. He noticed the lights were off. It felt like deja vu all over again. He spotted Eska sitting on her bed, sniffing something in her arms. When he turned on the lights, Eska suddenly turned around and hissed. With Benny's scarf in hand.

"AHhh!" Spiro yelped, "Eska?! What on earth are you doing?"

"Oh, hey, Spiro," Eska looked at the scarf, "Just..." she sniffed it again, "Making memories."

"Is that...Benny's scarf?" Spiro pointed to it.

"Yes! Here, smell!" Eska thrusted the scarf towards Spiro, "It's filled with Benny's memories. It's like he's still here!"

Spiro was confused. He shrugged, took a whiff, then drew back in disgust, "Augh! Eska! How can you stand this smell? It's awful!"

"But it's Benny awful," Eska gripped it to her chest, "And I like it!"

"Eska, we gotta return this to Benny," Spiro told her, "And wash it first."

"What?! No way! No. Way!" Eska shook her head, "You'll wash all the memories out!"
