Helanie:
Penn looked at me and then at Rudy, who had his hands in his red jacket, looking fresher than the rest of us. It was their day off, so he had been out and about until now.
"Back off, Rudy!" Penn hissed at him.
I felt uncomfortable being the center of attention. Whenever eyes were on me, I was reminded of the day I had to walk home after that torturous night. They had examined me the same way back then, and I could never forget those eyes.
"Helanie, he didn't really do it for you, get that," Rudy stated, with Sage and Summit behind him while Arlo scanned the crowd.
I watched as his eyes landed on Lucy, then shifted to our group, as if noticing how we had fallen apart.
"Rudy! Penn is my friend, let's not poke at him," I stepped forward to defend Penn, who tilted his head at Rudy, probably smirking because I was standing up for him.
