Eye contact
Maria and the girl’s eyes briefly connected as she was about to take her seat. The odd girl glanced at Maria with a scornful and condescending expression. She kept walking, her trolley trailing behind her, and felt relieved when she passed her. However, this sensation did not endure long…
Maria felt anxious

It brought her anxiety when it finally hit her. “Well, it’s better than sitting next to her, at least,” she reasoned. Even if she didn’t have to make any more eye contact, things were only going to get worse from here.
