"You probably don't." She held up a smile I couldn't trust. "The name's Elise. Elise Vale." She said. "I'm a huge fan."
There goes confusion, rambling all over my head again.
"I have a fan?"
"Fans, actually." She corrected. "Most of them just don't have the balls to come up to you. Especially after Aria demanded her complete privacy." She studied me for a moment and gave me a look that meant she hadn't found anything particularly fascinating about me. "I do wonder how you ended up friends with her though."
"Uhh... the normal way, I guess?" I slept on the words the same way I'd slept on my last maths test — confusedly. "How do you know Aria though? I don't think I've ever seen your face at my school before."
"Wait." Her eyebrows curved with questions. "Are you pretending, or do you genuinely not know?"
"Know... what?"
