Gwen had never rowed a boat before, so the fact that her and three other eleven year olds were supposed to steer it somewhere wasn't very safe-feeling. Regardless she stepped over to a boat containing one girl.
"May I get in this one?" she asked, silently hoping she said yes, because she was already in the process of stepping into the boat and taking a seat. Friends. Hadley had told her to try and make friends, so here she was. Taking initiative or something.
