I couldn’t answer. My voice was fine, my feet were functioning. Except some girl walked into me and knocked me over.
“Watch it Greeny!” The boys at the “heaven” table jeered at the innocent girl. I helped her stand up. As I stood, numerous eyes watch my every move.
“You can’t sit here anymore.” Abby said sticking her perfectly manicured hand on the spot in which I was about to sit down at.
“Whaa…why?” I asked. Suprisingly, the girl they called Greeny answered.
“Cause you helped me. That’s a major- with a capital m a j o r-major transgression here. Sorry you weren’t warned before. Looked like you had a pretty bright future.” She said with no hint of sarcasm in her voice. In fact she sort of reminde me of Ali.
“But…” Abby raised her perfectly arched eyebrows at me, saying no before her lips parted.
“You can sit with me if you want…better than sitting alone which seems like your only other option right now.” Greeny said with a small smile. I gave a stare back at my “friends.”
I walked with Greeny.
