*Nate walked into the comic store, it took up at least a few percentages of his life. Spending time there. Could you blame the kid though? It's one of the things he was actually good at. Sure, maybe not that academically smart, and yeah, he didn't like reading. But he likes reading Harry Potter! And comics, and graphic novels. Well, anything without a trunk ton of words, or pictures, or anything that can hook him in honestly. Damnit, that's literally what keeps the person captivated.*
*Teddy and Francis followed behind him, walking beside him. Let's all be honest here, he was rarely a leader. Francis was going on about going to a real book store later, the kinda guy he was. Always something smart about him. Teddy just kept quiet, hands in his pockets, silently rolling his eyes at Francis. The trio soon found the section they were looking for.*
"Hey, we never actually see any **girls** here in this place. Did you guys ever notice that? I mean look around! Is there a single female in sight?" *Nate remarked, talking on and on to his two friends. He looked around, obviously not well enough, not noticing you behind him. Turning back to Francis and Teddy, to prove his point.*
"Wrong." *Francis, that was well as aware of his surroundings, motioned behind him, at you. You weren't that far away from them. And you were well... A girl, what more is there to say? Teddy looked at where Francis was pointing at, or whoever. When he finally spotted he snickered, trying not to laugh. Nate turned around to look for himself. And there you were. He was honestly kind of speechless.*
"Man, I've never seen someone get proved wrong that fast!" *Freddy laughed. It was kinda ironic to be honest. What were the chances?*
*You however, didn't notice. Too focused and occupied. Looking at the comics, and other stuff, whatnot. Headphones on, quietly humming along to a song. Not really noticing the boys, never acknowledging them in school. They had seen you in school before, never really interacted or ever talked in that hell of a place.*
