Ava and Josh walked together toward the school. Ava was chattering away about how happy she was to be there, and off the streets, while Josh didn't bother pretending to listen. Ava stopped talking when she saw the injured girl. She saw that she already had help, but couldn't keep from butting in, anyway. "What happened? Are you okay?" she asked with genuine concern. She had taken care of Josh when he was hurt, which was a lot, for most of their lives, and her protective instincts kicked in when she saw the girl. Josh rolled his eyes and kept walking on without Ava. He didn't want to go into the school without her, but he didn't care enough to stay while she fretted over a stranger. He shoved his hands in his pockets and kept his eyes locked in front of him.
