"Thanks!" She exclaimed, digging herself out from under the bed, using her arms to hold her upper body off the floor. Kissy smiled, noticing him a lot closer to her than she'd thought. She made a whooping sound and bounced her lower half to plant her feet in and propel herself forwards.
A 8.9 front flip, in her esteemable estimation. She used to do it all the time to impress Ophelia. She also used to do it all the time to get over her mound of stuff without having to stand on her bed and leap over it! She turned in her gymnast's pose, hands above her head. Kissy had only done gymnastics one summer, but sometimes she liked to pretend.
Plucking the shoes from his hand she shoved them on her feet without further ceremony. A headband, two bangles, and a ring got unceremoniously tossed on the desk. Kissy never remained 'dressed up' for more than half a day. Too much activity. "C'mon!" Kissy held the door open like she'd been waiting for him. The thought hadn't hit her yet, but he was the first guy at Halcyon she'd immediately felt comfortable with.
People totally treated her differently here. It was sometimes enough to make her even doubt herself, although she'd never been good at being anyone but.
