Veronica could tell Simon was one of those guys that was not really used to girls being all around or whatever. He was socially awkward and Veronica could relate, since she was pretty much a virtual pariah back home.
"It's really nice to meet you, Simon." She smiled. She didn't know what was going on with everyone around them but she didn't want it to hit her.
"Yeah, I do." She told him. It was funny, she'd never noticed him before.
