Kenta shook his head. "I've never gotten anyone besides you to come here with me... besides Laetus." He thought for a bit, then added. "I think Laetus brought that girl he likes so much here. I think her name was... May or something. Haven't gotten the chance to meet her yet..."
"Oh," Shay said. She wouldn't have been offended had he brought other girls here, at least not for the reason most people would have suspected. She simply did not want to be wooed. Shay had no desire for love, friendship, any of those things. She had no desire to lose for connections and she knew enough about people to know they always left one way or another.
The idea sent a sharp pang through her chest. She stared down for a time. "I... need to get home."
"Huh? But its still early in the day... Are you feeling ok?" He asked, sounding concerned. He leaned over the table, reaching out to check her temperature by touching her forehead.
Shay pushed back hard against the seat. "Don't!" her voice cracked she had screamed so loudly. Her face was pale and fear stricken. "Don't touch me!" The idea that she might have to go through...No. She couldn't. Couldn't people just understand to give her her frickin' space? Her heart was hammering hard in her chest; she could feel it in her throat.
