Jenn looks at Jason. "I'm doing good." Then Jenn looks concerned. "What happened?" Jenn says looking at him.
Patricia grinned, someone was agreeing with her about parents and how difficult they could be. And having Mariel and Jenn show her some cool new stuff was really exciting.

Glancing around the table, she noticed that she was one of the only ones sitting alone. Her smile disappeared as she began to feel embarrassed and shy again. She hoped against hope that this year was going to be better than last year. "I don't think I could bear another year like that," she murmured softly to herself.
She finally decided it was safe to look content and began people-watching, one of her most frequent though not favourite passtimes.
As Patricia looked around the Great Hall again, her eyes strayed toward a girl that seemed to be somewhat alone at the Ravenclaw table. Patty didn't like the idea of someone feeling alone in a room full of people. She waved at the girl, silently asking her to join the small group of first and second years. She smiled to entice her to come over.

Maura looked back at Laylee. "Yep, poor me!" she said, laughing when Laylee patted her on the head.
Maura looked at Laylee's face, watching her expression. She had a feeling she knew who Laylee was thinking about. How many times had she seen the sketches of his face? How many times had she heard Laylee talk about him with her face and eyes glowing? But she kept silent, knowing all would be revealed in time. "I'd better love it," she warned. "Else I shall have to be angry." She laughed.
Maura smiled and watch Laylee meet Patty.
Patricia shook her head,
"Nope, sorry... I've never heard of her. What kind of music does she sing?" she asked with a note of curiosity.
"Maybe I've heard her on the Wireless?"
Patricia watched as another girl patted Maura on the head. She had to giggle at the sight. She seemed like quite a card, in a good way too. So quite happy to meet a friend of Maura's, she said,
"Hi, I'm Patricia.... or Patty for short." She gave her a funny grin, hoping to be on friendly terms with her too.
