The girl with the Italian accent

  I was in high school at the time, in a writing class that was the first to last step of the course. It was called Creative Writing. There was one more class after this one called Advanced Creative Writing and the class there were so many assignments. One day I started noticing this one girl who sat away from others, even when the tables were placed in a U formation. She'd pull one of the desks away from the rest and sit away from everyone and have some space to plug in her technology. She would always do her work and turn it in. I wasn't one of those people to deliberately watch over someone, I didn't even know her. The one thing I did remember from those two years of classes, is that she never spoke out loud.
  I was working one day at the convenience store and I was having another long day as usual and saw her come in. She was wearing black leggings, a cream tank top, and a light jacket tied around her waist.
