Hmm. But Aaron was so nice and charming and friendly to everyon-- no. Rielle couldn't even make that joke in her own head. To say she couldn't, for the life of her, come up with a reason why anyone would want to hit Aaron LaVigne, would be a lie. She could come up with plenty of reasons. Though, honestly, she wasn't sure she still subscribed by all of them. Here he was, standing next to her, holding her hand and distracting her from her fears. Apparently, he was pretty nice, if not a little overzealous with his opinions.
But those opinions were probably what got him into trouble. Still, it was polite to ask more than it was to assume and drop it, right? At least this way it looked like she didn't sometimes want to hit him too. "Why? And...who?"
She glanced behind her again, at the guys, and bit her lip. They noticed her looking. She turned back quickly before they could say anything. She heard one of them mutter something to the other, but she ignored it. "Were you picked on a lot or something?"
