Wallflower power (bronze)

You see the problem with being shy is that after all the hellos and how are yous are done, You can't think of anything to say. So you tend to sit on the side and drink your drink and hope someone else thinks of a topic of conversation that you can talk about. Which is what I've been doing

I look down and it takes me a moment to notice that someone's standing there. I glance up and see Amanda. I give her a weak smile. "Hi." I say. Disappear, disappear, disappear...it'd be nice if I could do that.

"Hey. You ok?" I say quietly taking a moment to glare in Peters direction. "Don't let him get to you. He's not worth it."

I give a half smile. "That obvious, huh?" I ask. "Hello my name is Cassie, free target for ridicule and cruelty. Do I have a neon sign above my head that says 'victim here'?" I look up as if to find it.

"No...but Nicols has pin that says I'm an ass, ask me how?" I shrug my shoulders, "Sorry," I roll my eyes in his direction. "I don't mean to butt in... But I kinda know he's a jerk."

I don't look over at him. Not giving the satisfaction. "Yeah, he is. Thanks for coming over though...give mean excuse to not, y'know. Leave immediately." I say.

I grin. "Well that's good then. It's nice meeting new people, even if I'm horrible at small talk." opps. I hadn't ment to say that even if it was true. "I mean, I'm glad to meet you. again. ...even if I sound like english is my second launguage." gah. I'm not sure that was better.

I smile and laugh. "Oh don't worry about it. Secretly, I don't think anyone's really good at it. I never thought I was much of a small talker."

"you seem to do ok. Maybe I should take lessons from you?" She doesn't seem to clam up when there are more than 3 people in a room. "You can come over and teach me when Cecile gets to be too much."

I smile wider at that. "Oh...you know I might need to. Not that I'm trying to be judgemental, I'm not...but she doesn't appear to like me very much anyways, and seems....way bouncier than I think is safe. And no one likes health code violations." I say. "So I'd love to come over and teach you small talk."
