the men didn't seem to notice her, but someone else did.
she turned and saw someone approaching her
she hurried towards the person so as to keep the conversation from interrupting the others
"he..hello" she stuttered to the guy, 
[i]'that's a little weird, i was talking fine with Jeanne earlier'[/i] she thought 
[i]'maybe it's because he's a boy'[/i]
she suppressed a blush.
