"Hey Cooper... let's go to the old staircase. There are fewer people there."
Cooper shook his head and stroked his chin thoughtfully. "No. Let's stay here."
"Why?" I ask, fumbling my pen and shifting anxiously.
"Because I want to know why you're ignored. I'm gonna make an attempt to get the attention of everyone. I don't get how no one notices you. You're kind, smart, funny... it doesn't make sense. How could someone simply just be ignored... almost like you don't exist?" Cooper stood up, the chair scraped against the floor and made a loud screech. "Everyone." All eyes turn to Cooper, and I flush as I tug at him, pulling him back to his seat. "Meet Cadence."
