I pull a joke and the rest of them laughed their hyheena cries, braying their heads off and I smile fakely and stick my hands in my pockets and looked around coolly, hoping she�s noticed me. but she walks on unperturbed, the traffic vehicles going down the road ruthlessly. I pushed away from the circle and ran forward and grabbed her swinging left hand, she turned around, frightened and pulled away, staring at me. � may I ?�
