29. New Guy/Girl

Just be quiet. Just be unnoticable. She seemed to sneak into the classroom like a mouse. Maybe no one will notice me, and I'll just be absorbed into--

A paper airplane zoomed into her head. Absorbed? What was she thinking? This wasn't a biology project. She unfolded the airplane to find a note.

"Hi."

What a waste of paper. They hadn't even bothered to sign their name. She scanned the room to see if she could spot the sender. Unfortunately, everyone seemed to be busy chatting, absorbed in everything else but her.

I guess it's a selectively permeable membrane. She mused to herself. She suddenly realized what she was thinking and thwacked her head on the desk. "Must stop thinking of class as biology project."

"You alright?" One of her classmate's seemed concerned.

"Fine." She reddened.

"Alright then." The classmate turned around, obviously not believing her.

She slunk down in her seat again. How she hated being new.
