LouAnn perked up a little when the professor mentioned that they were now about to practice some of the defense techniques they'd discussed in class today. Defense was very important to LouAnn, as she'd been through a huge ordeal in her younger years and could have used some of this knowledge on defense back then.

Finding a partner, though, was something she was a little worried about. Being the new kid was hard in times like these, because most people already had a best friend or a close friend that they usually partnered up with. Hoping she'd luck out and find someone who was still partnerless, LouAnn spoke up. "I need a partner, too, if there's someone in here who still needs one," she said.
