i'd seen Ashley around.
she was always so sad looking,
like she had just seen the entire world burn to a crisp without being able to do anything.

that's exactly how i felt too.

i tried to ignore her,
but i wanted to talk to her.

everytime i tried to go over,
someone would stop me.
and i was always glad when they did.

and this time,
it was Cara.

she had her hair pulled back with a thick blue ribbon.
she looked concerned for me,
she was so beautiful and petite.

are you okay?

i snickered,

why would you think i wasn't?

she shrugged,

oh, i don't know, maybe because you looked like you were hit by a bus?

i wiped the smirk off my face,

you don't know a thing about me,
for your information i am perfectly happy and don't need anyone's concern.

i started to walk back to Mud Skip and Banker before she stopped me again,

i'm sorry, Kevin, right? i didn't mean it like that. even if i don't know you, i'd like to, if that's alright.

sure.
