Brought down by the strong boy, he gestured for her to sit back down at the bleachers in the gym. It was a good start to this …friendship? She was afraid of saying such a word. She was worried of how any friendship she formed might turn out given the scrutiny of attention paid to her. Was this guy good, bad or neutral? Who were his parents, siblings, relatives? Should Sue be scared for her life like that one acidic guy?

Space left for her to sit with Jack. She might as well, but she wished it wasn’t as close to the front. So before they did anything, she signed: 

[i]“Hey. Thank you, really. Do you mind we move up however?”[/i] gesticulating to her earmuffs and the people around them. [i]“It’s okay if you don’t want to.”[/i] 

Before she watched him reply, she held her breath mid-way and just walked up. It was getting a bit much for her, and she could see the armed guards taking an interest to where she stood, and Jack. Her steps rushed and hurried, taps loud and resounded through her ears.
