[The thing about Roxy is this: she isn't good at slowing down. The more she wants to, the more she resists, because what if in her fear or her nerves or her uncertainty or whatever she pauses and doesn't know how to start again? So sure, she grabs onto some boy's arm without really looking at him first, it's fine, it's whatever.]
[Except also: it's Dirk. Dirk, and she just stares at him, mouth gaping open like a stupid fish, until, eventually, she comes back to herself and--punches him on his stupid boy shoulder.]
Why. [punch 2] Are you trying to be cool-- [PUNCH 3] instead of hugging me!!
:V
