Jack noticed this, and gently nudged her with his arm. “Don’t look people in the eye or smile at them, Katelynn… re-remember, Megamind is evil to them because he looks different. You now look different and… and they may associate you with him that way…”
He glanced at a group of girls who were watching them, one of them with long blond hair gave him a flirtatious wink and smile as they walked past them.
“I love chocolate men, they’re so hot.” one of the girls said to her friend, honestly not loud on purpose but they still overheard them.
“People don’t like what’s different. A-and blue skin and big heads are as different as they come around here…” he said.
“But..” she began, watching the girls comment on her boyfriend, snuggling closer to him on purpose and offering them a smile. They frowned at her slightly, one even giving her a disgusted look before walking away.
“Don’t know why he’s with her..” they said as they left.
Katelynn wasn’t hurt by this, shrugging her shoulders. “Well because I’m still me on the inside..I’m used to being friendly..you know that..” She whispered, looking up at him, Stella sniffing at the ground in front of her. Both her and Katelynn could already begin to smell everything the pier had to offer.
“I know… it’s one of the things I love about you but… in this skin,” he touches her cheek gently. “You need to be more careful… okay?” Jack asked gently since the last thing he wanted was her getting into trouble or being insulted by someone. If somebody dare speak out against her… well. He wasn’t sure what he’d do, but it probably wouldn’t be good.
Roxy was sniffing along the pier as well, the smell of the water, the food, the people; all of it exciting to the little black pug.
