Ellen was exhausted---it seemed as if every corner she turned some thirsty little pervert was waiting for her... it was frustrating. She wished to be praised for her academic ability, not her style nor her looks.

She took pride in her appearance, yes---but it was only for herself. Jusr so she wouldn't feel so... insecure all the time. But now, she feels as if the attention is all too much.

Guys at school practically fawn over her, and it makes her feel uncomfortable as hell---but, she's already gotten settled. Her mindset was that she'd 'just have to make do with it until college', and stay ahead.

On her usual detour through the halls, she got a bit too tired of the unwanted attention, so she shoved herself into the nearest staircase the first chance she could. She was barely paying attention, so noticing you was quite difficult..

Bump.
