When Emmett whispered into her ear unexpectedly, Ashlee straightened up and tensed. His words dropped like coins on pavement. Everything else was drowned out except for his voice, which shaped the words and made Ash very aware that he was a guy. What a revelation. But it was something about Emmett's voice that made Ashlee keen to notice that, and completely miss the content of what he was saying. She shook her head and came back to reality, watching him go over to try and comfort Winnie. Despite initial suspicion, Ash immediately felt bad when she noticed that the girl had been crying a little. When Winnie and Shelby started talking about boys, Ash was glad Winnie had gotten more brave and found a friend. Wait... what? Why am I glad about that? I barely even know these people. Still, she felt a little bit left out, and stood quietly, wishing they would get on with it.
This is such a strange group of people. We got a guy with a gun who won't let you forget it, a super shy girl who seems to have gotten past her super shyness, a pretty girl who is definitely helping Winnie overcome that super shyness, Alteriel, who's really clever and smart, but not supported by the rest of the group. Strange how that works. It's just like everyone's already formed their own cliques. Even though there's only one, and we all just met. There's Tom, who I didn't really learn much about before he was kidnapped. Me, who's never shot a gun or used a weapon in my life. And Emmett, the unspoken leader, I guess. Confident, determined... despite a group with, how should I say it, shortcomings...
