He turned to look at me and then back to her "You’re friends with Clarke here?"

She nodded, so to the end of the table where there were open chairs "Why do you sound surprised?"

Shay snorted, going by me to the kitchen

"Uh" Linde scooped up his books and joined us at the end He plopped down across fro its seat for Kristina She sat,slowly, as he said to me, "You’re not the friendliest, Clarke"
