My head jerks up at the sound of Bittle's voice and while I don't exactly
relax, I do feel safer. I know that I'm not alone, that Bits will do
whatever he can to help me, and it helps to calm me down. I can feel my
cheeks heat up when he mentions the girls, and I swallow hard as I look
from them to Bittle. "Uh--"
"We weren't bothering him," one of the girls says icily, gesturing
towards me with a perfectly manicured nail. "We were trying to help him."
"Um, well. Thank you, but--" I clear my throat and wish more than anything
that I could just sink into the floor. "But my boyfriend's here now, so I'm
sure he can help me."
I'm still not really sure what's going on, but Bittle has been here longer
than me. Hopefully he'll know what to do.
