Callen grinned, but was cut off by a strange noise. Most of all, it just sounded like someone moving around nearby, but since the hall was full of people she didn't think it was anything special. "... I'd say get out of here now." She then said, looking at him again, trying to make the awkwardness go away. This, she knew was futile, she had always been horribly awkward with everything, and it just didn't go away. For a girl like her, it seemed like she would always be trapped in her teenage years.
"I mean, what's there to stick around for?" She added, and in that moment Anna walked up to them, still looking sour. She murmured something to Callen, who looked at her with big eyes. "Really?" the redhaired girl asked, a smile appearing on her face. "That's whitegirlproblems, you know that right?"
To this, Anna looked at her, and then slowly, a smile crept onto her face, it grew wider, and finally, she burst out laughing. She was laughing so hard that tears ran down her cheeks, but still she couldn't stop. Callen giggled at the sight, and then spoke again. "See? It's really not that bad. It might be brutal to have someone come up to you and say stuff like that, but it's more their problem than yours."
To this, Anna nodded, and then, only now, seemed to notice Zach. She squinted her eyes, and looked from him to Callen, and then back to Zach again. For a moment, meeting Anna's eyes, Callen had felt like she needed to explain what was going on, but as she opened her mouth to talk, Anna interrupted.
"It's okay." She said, sending both of them a solemn smile. "You have my blessing!" She then added in a darkened voice, clearly just joking around. "I've got to get to survival class, I'll talk to you guys later!" She quickly placed her hand on her brother's shoulder, and then turned away from them. She waved back at them as she left, and then the doors closed behind her.
