finally , she calms down . takes a deep breath in , involved , her shoulders lift with the action and drop dramatically when she exhales . ❝ gretchen , i’m gretchen . it’s not weird , yeah i— i get it . ❞ bobble - head nod come to a forced end with a painful - sounding laugh , fingers dig into the fabric of her bag and twisting the strap there . one last nod before she begins to follow closely behind her new friend : minnie . were they friends ? boosted up to something more than classmates simply because minnie was letting her borrow her notes ? whatever the case , gretchen tried not to think too much into it on their walk .
❝ do you ? ❞ intrusive , maybe , but she only decides that after it’s already been said , so there’s no going back . gaze wanders as she pulls her phone from her back pocket and twirls it between her hands : should anything go wrong , the world became only a tap away . not that she thought anything was going to happen ! ❝ he doesn’t seem all that creepy to me . but i haven’t really spent any one - on - one time with him . ❞
❝ nice t’meet’cha gretchen . ❞ steps retraced day in and day out all lead back to the same place , her happy little dorm with her happy little roommate ( of whom she hoped was not currently in their shared room , not so minnie and gretchen could be alone , more because she could not stand to stare at her face for longer than two minutes ) . chin turns over her shoulder to get a better look at the brunette catching up to her , smile quirking the edge of her mouth in a smirk before she speaks again , ❝ nah , it’s definitely weird . but thanks for tryin’ t’make it seem like it’s not . ❞
❝ never had the chance t’call ‘im anything . ❞ one shoulder lifts with a shrug to punctuate her answer . minnie laughs , then , the loud and obnoxious kind of laughter that would have earned her a punch to the ribs had bonnie been there . ❝ i wouldn’t go out of my way to get any one - on - one , either . there’s probably a bunch of kids in that class that’d be glad to help if it meant not leavin’ another poor soul alone with that man . ❞ and like that they had arrived , minnie pushing the door to the dormitories open and leading the way to her room .
