She had been leaning back in her chair, perfectly at ease with not speaking or being around anyone in the room - the anxiety about being around a bunch of unknown people already made her even snarkier than usual - and as such, was not happy when a boy sat next to her. He was almost cute until he opened his mouth, and H immediately stood up and pulled out her phone, tapping one of the only 4 contacts in the thing and calling her mother.

"Come pick me up."

"You know I'm at book club. I can't just leave..."

"God damnit, mom, fine." H hung up, annoyance showing on her face. If only this thing would start and maybe some okay people would reveal themselves and she could make a couple of friends and never have to come back again ever. She slid her phone back into her pocket, sitting back down a seat away from the obvious asshole that sat next to her, and turned to him.

"Don't talk to me."
