"Why are you so far away?"
"W-what?" Jessica wondered what she meant by that.
"You're here, but you're so far away" Lijuan pushed the book down, wanting to see the girl's face closely. Once it was out of the way, Lijuan stared at her while Jessica looked away, a sudden warmth in her face caused by the intense look she was getting from the girl in front of her.
"Are you disabled?"
Jessica shook her head.
"then why don't you interact?"
Jessica wanted to say something in her defence, but she was scared she'd sound stupid and weird. She'd always wanted to talk to her, but now that she had the chance, she couldn't. She didn't feel worthy enough to talk to someone like her.
"Do you need help with your homework?"
Jessica nodded.
"Okay. I can see you're not so good at math, but I'm here to help so you'll also have good grades, and you can be number one."
