Kateri put her notebook carefully away in her bag. Chocolate fairy...maybe someone else on here needs some cheering up. She made her way through the crowd to a angry looking boy. "Hi there, I'm Kateri. Would you like some chocolate?"

"Laurena." The boy standing in front of her took a sudden step back, bumping into her. Laurena tried to grab onto something to keep her balance, but tripped backwards, falling into the lap of a girl crouched down on the elevator floor. "Sorry!" she said, scrambling, trying to get back to her feet.

Mira's eyes widened at the unexpected girl on her lap. "Um... it's okay," she said softly.

Luke look, dubiously, at the girl named Kateri. "Chocolate? No thanks, I'm allergic."

Kateri put the chocolate away and kept a smile on her face. "Oh, pardon me," she sighed, "I just really hope they fix this elevator soon, I'm on a field trip and if I don't make it to the bus on time I'll get in trouble." not that you would really care, but I'm just trying to make conversation.

"I really am sorry! I didn't mean to fall on you, I just...well....I tripped. And I--I'm rambling. I've just never been around people before and I don't know what I'm doing or what to say and - " Laurena groaned and squeezed her eyes shut. "Sorry. Rambling again."

Luke nodded but kept his eyes down. Maybe if he stayed quiet, she would go away... It's nt that Luke didn't like people. He loved people. But, he was more of a watcher and not a talker.

There were silent cues that Kateri picked up on, the boy was obviously not much of a talker. The downcast eyes, the refusal to speak, she could relate. So Kateri mumbled a "goodbye" and went back to Rosie.

She looks as nervous as I feel, Mira thought, and, oddly, that put her more at ease. Not completely, of course. There were only a couple people who could do that. "I'm not around people much, either....it's okay."
Rosie grinned at Kateri's return. "You know what boosts people's moods? Singing! We should sing something!"

"Sing? here? No thanks." Kateri said. She loved to sing, but not here, not now.

Kateri mentally sighed, "I'm not that good. And I don't like doing things in front of a group of people..."

Rosie smiled reassuringly. "Oh, but it wouldn't be in front of them... it would be with them! And I know just the song, too."

looks like there is no getting out of this.. "What song?" Kateri resigned herself to the singing. Maybe is will be fun.

Rosie grinned, knowing she had an ally now. "You know the 99 bottles song?"
