"OW--OH---SOGGY MORGANA'S SOCKS"
WHAT THE-!?
Noah JUMPED - no BOLTED (kinda gracefully but still nonetheless) out of his seat. Mind and heart racing at light speed (well light speed was dramatic - way less than light speed - but anyway ...) as he turned to find a girl (a pretty girl) caught in the door. What... What. Oh. She was stuck. Was her hair in the door..?
OUCH. That looked painful. He tossed his book to the side and immediately went to go help her. "Umm here I can help too," he said as he slowly before adding, "only if you want, of course."
What an entrance....
Excellent timing for the exclamation to happen for a cloaked figured and lunged himself at the protagonist, he thought. Noah could have almost chuckled at the situation (perhaps part of the reason for chuckling was that he was nervous?) but thought that highly inappropriate at the moment. Had Aboli been in a bad mood, she would have snipped at the boy. However, she was in a decent mood...and her nerves were much too high for her to just snip at an unsuspecting helpful person! She nodded.
"Yes please! I can't see the back of my head - I can't see how it's stuck!" she sighed and felt a little embarrassed at the awkward stance she was forced to stand in...her neck lolled to the side, forced there by her !!!trapped!!! hair.
She examined him a bit. He had kind eyes. She knew what her brother's remark about him would be...
You don't trust anyone, Aboli, not even kind-eyed people. She and Koko had always been a paranoid duo, but Aboli was sliiiiiightly less so than her younger brother. Even for an eleven year old, he was still completely silent to most strangers.
"Can you get it?" she asked
desperately.
