"Thanks," Alex said, "I'm glad you think I am interesting. My friends think I'm weird." She stuck out her tongue and wrinkled her nose after saying that. Alex tried to pretend she didn't notice Fiona staring at her, but she was beginning to feel a bit uncomfortable. Not necessarily in a bad way, just in a strange way that was hard for her to put her finger on.<br/><br/>It almost made her feel embarrassed or like she should be self conscious. She still felt pretty nervous, but she tried not to show it. Her palms were kind of sweaty and her book slipped out of her hands, onto the tile floor of the hallway. 'Maybe I just ate something bad,' Alex thought, trying to remember if she had eaten anything questionable recently. She was coming up with nothing.<br/><br/>She licked her lips, nervously and bent down to get the book. Fiona just so happened to bend down at the same time and they bumped heads. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry," Alex said, rubbing her bruised noggin, which was probably less bruised than her ego. ' Why am I being such a geek?!' Alex wondered, silently kicking herself. "Are you ok?" she asked Fiona, noticing her holding her head too.
