New Friends

Joseph visibly took a step back in complete astonishment from the sudden shout (and rather crazy look in the girl's eyes) while Lianne looked up in puzzlement at the weird girl. 

From Lianne's perspective, she saw one girl staring at them … no, at her brother … with her eyes wide while she was holding onto her friend's arm as if her life depended on it.

Lianne internally rolled her eyes, thinking the reaction to be completely over-the-top. Luckily, so did that girl's friend, who placed her hand over the excited girl's mouth.

"I'm so sorry," the girl said, "Please ignore her. My friend must have taken too much cola this morning. She has a bit of a sugar rush."

The one who had her mouth closed grabbed her hand's friend and pushed it aside as she continued to stare at Joseph, "It's you, isn't it?"

"Er, I'm sorry?" Joseph said confusedly, his shock subsiding, "Do I know you?"
