Fandom: FOL
Pairing: Jo/Blair.
This is the only slice that wasn't written for FOL Month. It was my first attempt to post something on LJ, back when FOL_fiction started up and a challenge was posted for 100-word drabbles with the prompt 'She looks like a boy.' For nostalgic purposes, I decided to include it in the 31 Slices.

"Unfortunately, it’s not working - we can still see her."
In the distance, Jo glanced over, and Blair beckoned to her. "I’m getting used to it. It only gives me a slight headache now."
"Well, she looks like a boy. I don’t know whether to avoid her or date her."
Watching Jo stride confidently toward them, Blair murmured, "I don’t either . . . ."
