Orphanage for Supernatural

@KatherinWinter
As someone with social anxiety, I can assure you that's not always the case, especially with Severe social anxiety, such as what Eleanora has.

As she was set down on her bed, she started to wake up a bit. She groaned and looked around the room, her eyes landing on Leo."...You didn't have to carry me back.." She said softly, looking up at the ceiling. She hated herself, especially after what happened. She wasn't expecting to have so many people around, and everything was happening so fast. It was overwhelming, especially for a girl who had severe social anxiety. It scared her, and now she went and either made herself look like and idiot, or had people worry about her. She didn't know which was worse.

She was seriously overwhelmed. It happens so some people when too many things happen at once, and for Eleanora, who has major social anxiety, everyone coming near her, or asking about her was too much for her to handle.

Slowly and shakily, Eleanora stood up, getting paler by the minute."I-I-I-I think I'm gonna g-go.." She said, trying to walk off. But as soon as she did, she collapsed. This was not a good day for her. It started off well enough, but too many people around made her too nervous, and this is what happened.

At his reply, Eleanora smiled and sighed in relief. She finally had a friend! Or....As close to a friend as she'd get in this moment. As she was about to give him a suggestion on when and where to hang out, more and more people were approaching them, talking to them. And then one approached her directly, offering a hand to shake. She didn't want to seem rude and not shake the girl's hand, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. Everyone suddenly speaking to them was a very big leap from just speaking to Leo. She paled visibly, feeling a bit light headed. This was too much for her to handle.

She turned a bit more red, fiddling with her orange hair."He wanted me to ask you..I-If you wanted to hang out sometime? Y-You know..As..F-Friends.." She stuttered. She had never really had friends, so asking if he wanted to be such was nerve wracking for her. She then just buried her face in her hands, embarrassed beyond all belief. She really wanted a friend, having been lonely for so long.

"I suppose so, but people still think I'm weird for talking to fish." She said, smiling slightly. It was the first time she had smiled at him. She then put her ear to the fishbowl, her fish telling her something. At the suggestion it made, Eleanora's face went red.
"I can't ask him that! He wouldn't accept it anyways, he's just being nice!" She told the fish, listening to what else the fish was saying, and that made her frown."No need to be so rude, Mr.Bubbles." She pouted at the fish, who just swam around in circles.

After a few moments of silence, she shrugged."I'm where ever the water is." She said simply, staring at her fish."I'd rather be with the water than with strangers." She explained, moving the water around her."Not to mention, the water sings a comforting song, so I prefer to be with it." She said, and afterwards, she sighed and covered her face."You must think I'm a weirdo now, don't you?" She asked, frowning.

"..I suppose I could see your point..And I do have friends. The fish are my friends."She said, holding her fish close to her. She didn't realize it, but this was the longest she had ever spoken to Leo. Most of the time, she'd run off or conceal herself in a giant bubble of ice, or simply ignore him. She liked Leo well enough, since he was so kind. But still never seemed to speak to him or anyone that much; hardly at all. So the fact she was keeping a conversation with him was a good sign that she was starting to feel more comfortable with him.

"And who would that be? You've been here 7 years, and there are alot of kids still here, who are much more..social than I am..Why sit by me?" She asked him, not taking her eyes off of the fish in front of her. She twirled her finger around, the water following her movements, and coming out of the bowl and forming a perfect bubble of water in her hands, the fish still inside. She smiled softly at the fish, and the fact she was able to use her powers freely."..With both of us being here for a very long time, it's hard to believe you don't have friends." She told Leo, not taking her eyes off her bubble with her fish.
