Ashleigh gave a soft sigh, clutching her book tightly to her, but nodded to Paulina. she watched her friend walk off, standing where she had left her. She glanced about wearily. She knew she could go, but what was the point? She'd still be able to sense the large gathering of emotions nearby. She could take the easy way out. Grumbling under her breath, she sat down by Vivi, and Jason. Until Vivi leaped up. Ashleigh flinched, automatically shifting away from the flamboyance that was Vivi. 

She gave another sigh, setting her book on the table and closed her eyes, once more hiding her face with her hair. She dropped her head into her hands, there was just too much going on. She drew in a deep breath, letting it out slowly. 

Maybe she should have taken a pill. 

Maybe she could just sneak off and take one. 

That would leave her with two left. Was this really a situation she wanted to waste a pill on? They had become surprisingly hard to come by. She thought someone must be blocking her advances at getting them. Sighing again, she looked up. [@Hitman5455][@Stern Algorithm]
