I'm a Legend

Being put into a group of people was better for Ellie than any kind of one on one training because she didn't like to be the main focus and she knew that she'd be able to blend into her surroundings. At least, she had hoped. Of course being paired up posed a complication for her because she was now being forced into interacting with her peers and she was unfamiliar with everyone in the classroom. Her eyes were always scanning, always taking everything in. And while she had headphones covering her ears, there was no music playing, she just allowed for everything to be soaked in while keeping everyone else away. Her trainer was fully aware of the way she worked and had okayed the safety net she'd set up for herself, knowing that she was a good student and wouldn't take advantage.

The idea of partnering up made her stomach turn and twist and she remained frozen in her seat. Should she be getting up and looking for someone? Or just remain sitting away from the crowd until one person was left to be partnered with? Elisia took a deep breath and continued watching as everyone picked who they wanted to work with. The vast majority of the class seemed to at least be familiar with each other and she momentarily wished that she'd been more of an outgoing person. There was no going back now.

Her eyes flicked up just as a boy, someone who seemed far too known in the group, gestured to the seat beside her. Ellie reached up and pulled the headphones from over her ears. Her eyes widened fractionally and she just stared at him for a moment before she realized she might need to say something. "I, uh, yeah. Yes, please. Thanks," She clamped her lips shut when she noted that she was on the verge of rambling and she knew she needed to shut the flood gates before it got out of hand.
