Challenge #02278-F088: Getting Into It
It’s hidden in plain sight, of course if you’ve been Shown or found your way there it’s where you go. When you can. When you need to. – @knitnan
Just about everybody in the school despised Weird Ellie. She was too weird, too quiet, too strange. She’d come out with knowledge that nobody else should ever know about as if it were something everyone should know - once you could actually get her to talk. For the most part, she was silent. In class, she did the work and rarely spoke to anyone, not even the teachers. Nobody knew where she spent her lunchtimes.
Gangs of other kids would roam the campus, trying to find her hiding spot. Somewhere a weirdo nerd like her would conceal themselves to escape the mob justice of the playground. She was never in detention. She wasn’t in the shady spots or nooks where the older kids went to conceal more grown activities - smoking, nudie magazines, cussing, and so forth - she wasn’t even in the library. It was as if she vanished when everyone else thundered out of the classroom, and reappeared when class came back in.
What’s weirder than that is… that’s exactly what she was doing.

She opened the book to read it and relax while she had her lunch and a coffee. Unfortunately, it was also dudebro o'clock, and a man-child had to come and comment on her material.
“You’re reading that? I thought you were intelligent…”
Sue put the book by Sir Pterry down and glared at him. She had never met this man before, didn’t know his name, and would be glad to never know that this man-child existed. “Have we met?”
