Annaleigh was honestly glad to hear that. “Really?”  She asked her voice filled with surprise. The teenage girl started to follow her new acquaintance. “Yes. You’re correct. I haven’t been going to school here for very long,” she replied. Actually, this was the first school she’d ever been to, but she wasn’t going to tell him that.

“Few more hallways and you were so close,” he grinned teasingly as he motioned for her to veer right with a hand gently placed on her back to guide them both around someone who was too busy texting to watch where they were walking.  That earned them a huff and a shake of his head that broke away into a lighthearted enough chuckle.  “It’s like walking and chewing bubblegum.  Some people just aren’t meant to do them together,” he shrugged haplessly–a general what do you do but roll with it,  “And, yeah.  I came here just after the beginning of the year?  What do you think of it so far?”
