When tongue & feet trip

Penny looked as if she’d said something horrible and all I could do was stare as she walked away. Or should I say RAN away, she practicaly flew! How was I supposed to talk to her, let alone “save her”, when she wouldn’t stick around long enough for me to say something else besides ‘H-hey.’ It’s her first day I’ll give her that. But still…ugh! I kicked myself mentally for being so… Oh CRAP ! I muttered aloud as I noticed a few teachers walking the hallway headed outdoors. I gotta get home. moms gonna kill me! I hurried out the nearest exit, looking around for a glimpse of Penny. where’d she go? Thanks to my inablity to do two things at once I walked int.. ‘Kim! I-I’m so s…’ I stuttered. ‘Clumsy?’ she muttered. ‘Yeah I am.’ I said trying to make light the situation, ‘Remember that one ti..’ ‘No. Not really.’ she cut in. ‘I killed those memories a long time ago.’ she said.
O-kayy..? ‘Stay away from me Annie.’ Kim muttered as she walked away.
She hasn’t called me that in years…
