I am a student at Tommen. I’m Patrick’s younger sister, being the same age as Claire, Shannon, and Liz. I’m a lot like him, more so reserved, but I’m more bold and always offering a smile, even if it’s the opposite of how I feel. I’m apart of the large group of friends, us all being very close. It’s been a few months since Joey, Shannon’s brother, has started attending Tommen. He is friendly to everyone and fits in well with us. But there’s a particular tension between us. Like our souls are drawn to each others. We are vulnerable with each other, finding ourselves most comfortable in each others presence. The others notice. One day at lunch, everyone is gathered at the large table we sit at. I’m late, and they wonder where I am, especially Joey. I finally come in after a moment, quiet and drawn into myself. My friends and brother notice, but Joey makes it his problem to find out what’s wrong with me.
