"Yea well I'd trade with you anytime."Joey muttered bitterly.He stood up silently and watched Storm fly in high circles over the courtyard,searching for his dinner."Everybody thinks I'm stupid."Joey said,half to himself."The teachers even lose patience with me.I don't blame them.I just can't sit still,or calm down,or listen.I just blurt out what I think in class,and kick desks over because I feel trapped,sort of...caged when I have to sit still.Like I have to much energy but not enough space to get rid of it in."

"I think I know what you mean. But at least you have friends. Know everybody thinks I'm a nerd, thanks to you and Casey." Speely let out a small laugh.

"We don't have friends.Casey scares them away.Or she's just too rude.And not everybody thinks you're a nerd.It's not like they listen to me and Casey."Joey sighed and watched Storm catch a mouse."Don't think that because we call you a nerd that you can't make friends.Nobody cares what we say anyways."He added with a small smile.

"I'm sensitive. And you DO have 1 friend. You have Casey. And yes, they do listen to you. I feel sorry for both of you, because it seems like you've had a bad past. And I try to be nice to you, but you're always mean to me."

"I'm friends with Casey because she's my sister.I have to be friends with her,and when your sister saves your life about 20 times over,you feel obligated to be her friend."Joey said softly."You can't be so sensitive,particularly around me and Casey,we don't mean to hurt or insult you."

"Well we don't,I already went over this with you."Joey said irritably,turning around to face Speely."I just say things.I can't really help it,if I think something,I say it,no matter what the consequences and without thinking about how it will affect other people."

"Yeah, I know, sorry. I didn't try to make you mad. But you seem kinda nice right now, I mean, you're not calling me a nerd, or making fun of me. If you try to be nice like this more people would like you." Speely smiled.

Joey smiled back."I've mentioned that too."He said softly."If I'm stuck in a classroom and I'm forced to keep still and listen,I just blurt things out because there's nothing better to do.Right now I'm nice because I don't have to pay attention to a teacher babbling on and on for an hour.Another factor is that my sisters not here.I change alot simply to amuse Casey."

"It's like the opposite with me. If you want me to sit still, I'm totally still and totally quiet. But if I'm like alone with somebody, for example, like now, I'm pretty talkative. So we're really opposite. Kinda funny." Speely laughed. She had a really nice laugh, not to loud, but not to soft, and it made her eyes twinkle. But that only happened if it was her true laugh.

Joey smiled again."You are a nerd."He said playfully,then laughed,but not immaturely like he did when he was acting insane with Casey."I'm joking.No wonder you get good grades."He sat down beside her."So what are you doing all the way up here at night?Aren't you afraid you'll get in trouble?"

"Thanks Joey! No, I'm not afraid I'm gonna get caught, because I'm the master of sneakery. I used to sneak to the TV in the middle of the night, and I never got caught. And besides, it's a weekend, well Friday, so there aren't any classes. We can stay up pretty late." Speely laughed again. Her shell was coming off.

"You must be pretty good at sneaking,but I dunno if you're the master of 'sneakery'as you call it."Joey replied,still smiling."And I'm well aware of the days of the week thank you."He laughed."You may get better grades than me but I know that it's Friday.I just didn't think that you were the type to go wandering around at night."

"I'm lots of things people don't expect me to be. I do have the reputation of no boy in the world would ever like me. Which you actually probably would expect. And I know that you know what day it is."

"Actually I expected that boys who are as interested in school as you are would be interested in you.Boys can be nerds too y'know."Joey laughed again."I'm still joking by the way.You're not too bad once you let people get to know you.Do you play Quidditch?"
