Turtle absolutely, positively, no doubt about it could not be in her room right now. No way, no how, ugh, she hated this week.

But there was food.

"Oh, please, please, please tell me you've made lots of that...."

George waved at the serving platters on the counter. "Help yourself," he said, grinning.

"Ohmigod," Turtle gushed, closing in on the food. "I love you. You're incredible. I could kiss you right now."

And she could. She thought about it. But that's why she was stuffing her face, distracting one hunger with another.

"Oh, well, I don't think you need to go that far," George replied. "A simple thanks will suffice."

"Thank you!" Turtle chirped, shaking her head and wondering why she was thinking of taking that last statement literally. "Thank you, thank you. These are really good, too."

And then she looked at the guy. "Do I know you?"

"... I'm not sure," George admitted. "George Sands. I'm new this term."

How in the world did she miss a newbie? She was having a breakdown.

"I'm Turtle," she offered, smiling back, although a little tentatively. "Nice to meet you, George."

"And you, Turtle," he said. "... That's an odd name. Nickname?"

Turtle found herself blushing deeply, which was odd. She never really cared about that before. "Yeah," she said. "From my older sister. My real name is horrible."

"Oh! No, I don't mean odd bad. I just mean, y'know, odd. Not one you hear often. And I'm sure you real name can't be that bad."

Turtle's eyes just widened, drawing in a breath.

"Bad enough," she pointed out, "that I prefer the name of a shelled amphibian instead."

Turtle smiled at that. "So, yeah, definitely bad, trust me. My mom hates me."

"Oh, I'm sure she doesn't hate you," George insisted. "Some parents are just... very poor at choosing names, is all!"

"Oh, no," Turtle said. "She hates me. She made me sleep in a closet."
