(Neither of us Ever Says a Word)
Aaron: “I wondered if the girl felt it too so I started sitting closer to her, but she just ignored me, from which I concluded she didn’t feel it. As we had more classes, I discovered she was sort of a screetchy and annoying girl (not that it dimmed my feelings about her), so perhaps it was just as well. (Notice how neither of us ever says a word in the story above. Fortunately she’s far too well-dressed to be screetchy and annoying.) ¶ Why does this happen? Does it happen to anyone else? How should I react?”
This is the type of situation in which panic is the only course of action.
