I was on my way back from the trash when I passed Aggie again and this time I turned and went to her table, sinking down beside her. She didn't look very happy, but I didn't know her very well and I wasn't sure if it would be appropriate to say anything. Sometimes I knew just what to do and other times I didn't.

"Do you want to come sit with us?" I asked, gesturing back to where Richie was still bugging Eddie from what I could see. Maybe we weren't the coolest group to be seen with, but I didn't think Aggie much cared about that.
