Alyssa didn't know what she would do if he actually started talking to her. Though, she doubted that he would want to in the first place. Who wanted to be friends with that awkward girl? If he talked to her, he would probably just ask for an answer to a question or a pen. Even the thought of that made her heart race, which was sad.
"Hey, here's my number. Feel free to text me when you want to head to the mall," Zoe said, breaking through Alyssa's thoughts. She placed a torn piece of notebook paper on Alyssa's writing table attached to her seat.
Alyssa was even more shocked at the realization that Zoe was actually serious about shopping together. So many people "made plans" and never acted on them. They made mock plans merely to be kind, but it seemed like Zoe was actually very genuine.
"Yeah, definitely. Thanks," Alyssa told her. She meant her gratitude. She would say more, but she didn't want to come off that desperate. The last thing that she wanted to do was scare Zoe away.
