"Oh no it's getting better!" I happily said back, my smile growing for a few moments. "I am still alive, that is what counts right? Another day to terrorize the planet with terrible music and out of place movie quotes." I laughed to myself, leaning back comfortably as I studied her face. She was cute, shy but cute. I liked her piercings, that much I knew. I had always liked people that knew just how to express themselves, even before the accident. But Alex- she was very genuine, to the point that it was a little bit attractive! She was tripping on her words, and hiding behind her book and displaying just enough of her personality that I wanted to get to know her better.
