Chapter 3: Avoidances

"Come on, Dais! Let's go!" shrieked Shelby in her Juliette mocking voice, once again. Juliette was, of course, her favorite Cliffhanger to tease, as it was so easy to do. Shelby grabbed Daisy's hand and pulled her out the door and down the steps.

The two entered the cafeteria, where much of the school had already gathered. They got their food and sat beside their friends that were already engaged in various conversations.

David looked up as Daisy sat down at the table across from him, but quickly turned his head back down toward he food before she made eye contact. He did not know what to do or say, and knew that he would feel awkward around her until one of them spoke up. He noticed that her eyes never lifted to his level, and so he decided that it would be best for both of them if he let her have some time to think.

Poking at her food with the fork in her hand, Daisy tried not to think about the one person she could not get off her mind...the one sitting right before her. She was so confused about everything, and knew that looking up would but even more questions into her head. Daisy felt Shelby nudge her, saying "It's not gonna bite, Dais." She jabbed at the "pancakes" that sat on her plate, slowly cut off a piece, and ate it.

Shelby watched as her friend sat mindlessly next to her. She felt bad for her, and did not know what she could do to help her, seeing as how Daisy had never told her what was troubling her. Shelby stood up, snatched Daisy's elbow, and led her to the door. "Let's talk...now."
