Finally the compartment was in view but just as the 13 year old had been given hope it was that suddenly dashed. It was the strangest thing actually,
no matter how hard she tried moving forward, she didn't seem to be budging an inch. Jessa fully turned to see the cause of the obstruction, having been walking backward with the occasional glance to before her originally.
Oh. An older student. Jessa huffed, reaching over to give a light tap at her shoulder because sometimes older kids were so lost in their own conversations and when you weren't on their height you weren't necessarily on their radar. "Pardon, I'd like to drop my trunk off but I can't seem to get through." Because....so many of them....were in the way.
"Could you maybe...scoot that way a bit? It'll only take a minute." Three if the guy before them both didn't hurry it along.
She was being TAPPED. By a stranger.
This would not do.
Dora did an odd twist of her body to get away from the offending hand, you see. That was unnecessary touching. Yep.
"
Don't touch people. It's not appreciated. Also, you aren't asking properly. It seems like you expect us to move rather than wish us to." Did she realize her tone and inflection was an issue? She came across as put out rather than actually PUT OUT. There was a difference.
