"Oh geeze I'm sorry," Kyle said, reaching down to pick up the books. "Are you alright? Let me help."
"I-i'm fine," the girl said, picking up the books herself. "I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going. And you're... large."
"Yes he is!" Jenny said, handing over a few books. "It's very pleasing!"
"Jenny is....is this one of the times where you KNOW what you're saying, or..."
"Oh right! I'm Jenny. This is Kyle. This is our invisible friend Valerie who you are about to forget I mentioned."

"I...what...who?"
"Don't worry about it."
"Oh okay. Well I'm Abby. I just moved into town and I'm...well, I'm not very good at being around people yet."
"I know how that can be," Kyle said sympathetically.
"I don't know if I believe that," Abby blushed.
"I kind of had a glow up senior year of highschool," Kyle said dryly. "Where were you headed to?"
"Uhm...I don't even know." Abby pulled out her phone. "Oh! Uh...lunch. I guess I don't need all these books out for that. Sorry I'm REALLY frazzled."
"That's okay, were going to eat too!" Jenny said cheerfully. "Wanna come along? If we talk to the air sometimes it's just because there's an invisible friend of ours you can't perceive."
"What?"
"Exactly."
"If you want...I don't really know anybody yet."
"Fine with me," Kyle shrugged.
"Great! Come on!"
"But wait I...ack!"
Jenny grabbed Abby's arm, almost making her spill her books as she dragged the hapless girl off towards the cafeteria.
