¨ Go ahead and sit down.¨ David motioned to two empty chairs, each with a menu on the table in front of them. They sat. Sam leaned on the back of the chair and rested his left foot on his right thigh, and began chatting with Brandon and David right away. Jaiden sat hunched over and stood her menu up on the table in front of her face, forming a little partition between everyone else and herself. She put in a pair of earbuds and swayed slightly to the tune of ¨Helena¨.
After a few minutes, a waitress came to take their orders. Brandon and David split a hamburger, Ellie ordered a blt sandwich, and Sam ordered cheeseburger sliders off the childrens´ menu even though he was twenty. After everyone else had ordered, she looked at Jaiden.
¨ And for you sweetie?¨
Jaiden hated pet names like that. especially ¨sweetie.¨
¨ I dont- I dont want anything.¨
Jaiden cringed at hearing herself talk. She hated her voice.
¨ Alrighthy. ¨ said the waitress ¨ Your orders will be out shortly. ¨
She took their menus. Including Jaiden´s
After she left, Ellie turned towards Jaiden.
¨ Are you gonna introduce yourself? ¨ she asked.
¨ No.¨
