Serenity was swimming through the halls aimlessly as she internally raged against Medeva. Maria had always called her a spaz, but had never said it in a derisive way.. 'I guess that's how she had meant it the whole time.. I just never realized. Do Layla, Michael, and Taylor feel the same way?'
As Serenity lost herself in her thoughts, Matt swam alongside her with a worried expression. Ren had always been self-conscious, and hearing her now-ex-best friend say something so harsh made Matt furious on Serenity's behalf.
She always bottled up her feelings to the point of exploding, which wasn't healthy. He could usually get Serenity to open up to him about things, but this was a whole situation had piled problem on top of problem for her. Making Serenity want to close herself off, to avoid being hurt again.
