The boy seemed to be confused, nervous. Puzzled. Ashleigh tilted her head, studying him. He seemed...not exactly agitated, but something like it. What did he fear? She wondered, feeling some sympathy for this boy. She wondered what she was going to get herself into. Perhaps she should have stayed with her book. 

"No, it's okay. I'm never not bothered, all these...hormones in the air" she said with mild amusement, a little inside joke. Sometimes she was surprised there weren't any pregnancies in this school. Yet it was more emotions, flying about. Teenagers particularly were highly volatile, with their emotions. Another reason she had to be thankful for Paulina. 

She looked about at the wild panic, frowning again, watching a boy leaving the gym. Someone else to talk to, she supposed. She couldn't have that wild panic overwhelming her. Even with the bracelet, it might be bad. She looked back for eh boy she was talking with, "I'm Ashleigh" she said politely, "are you new here?" A valid question, given she rarely took in the other students unless something attracted her attention. Mainly their emotions.
