Walking down the hallway, Addy watched the scene before her. Several people were making their way to the cafeteria, some falling, some walking in with poise. Shaking her head, she ignored all of this and walked on by, passing a girl hiding behind a taller male. From what, she didn't know. Deciding to stay out of it, she walked on, grabbing a bite to eat before sitting down by herself. 

It wasn't that she had any qualms with other people, no. She just hated the thought of people not liking her. All it took was a frown to push the poor girl into a crying fit. Her mother always told her she cared too much what people thought but she couldn't help it. It was like some part of her was scared, always scared. 

She lifted a spoon full of the soup before her to her mouth and tasted it, savoring the warm salty flavor of the chicken noodle soup.
