Patrick was getting nervous. “Y’know, people are staring…”
“Let them stare!” she shouted, tears running freely down her face.
“I thought new girls were supposed to be shy.”
“Well, you obviously haven’t paid any attention to me, have you? Oh, that’s right; you keep to yourself! Well, next time you’re in your own little world, think about how to shape up and get back to me on that! Until then, you can do this little project the way you like it: solo!” With that, she grabbed her books and stormed out of the library.
Patrick sighed. “Why can’t I ever do ANYTHING right? What the heck is wrong with me?” He put his head in his hands and took a deep breath.
