"Trea, why don't you go meet someone new? There are tons of people here who, I'm sure, would love to have you interrupt them. So go. Shoo."
Trea sighed, pouting. She looked around. Tech-boy was too engrossed to be bothered. Japanese kids would be hard to talk to. Lonely girl with closed eyes, tapping the table? Perfect.
She got up, walking over to her. "Hi, I'm Trea," she said. The girl opened her eyes and gave a small wave with her hand, and then went back to tapping.
"Um, what's your name?"
"Maura," the girl mumbled, her other hand resting under her and chin and almost making what she said too garbled to understand.
"Are you here alone?"
She shook her head no.
"Who are you with?"
Maura pointed to the boy who was coming back, two coffees in hand.
"Oh! Is he your boyfriend?"
Maura nodded.
"Are you usually this talkative?"
She shook her head no again.
"Huh. I see."
She got up, walking over to her. "Hi, I'm Trea," she said. The girl opened her eyes and gave a small wave with her hand, and then went back to tapping.
