บท 292: Before the game

Jason was startled when he felt Karla embracing him with both arms around him. He looked down at Karla's brightly smiling face.

'Why is this girl hugging up on me like this? Maybe something happened last night after our video call and she just needs a hug?

But that doesn't really make sense either. If she was feeling down about something she wouldn't be smiling like that?'

Not knowing why Karla would suddenly hug him like this Jason decided to go with the only logical reason that he could think of.

He assumed that something must have happened after their group video call last night and now she was hugging him to make herself feel better.

That was the only possible reason that he could think of. He patted her on the back "Uh, hey Karla. Thanks, you look good too.... I guess?"

He didn't really know how to compliment Karla considering that up till now he had mostly interacted with guys or tomboyish sort of girls like Tory, Shania, and Samantha.
