I bet. I thought as I looked over her again. She was bleeding perfect!
"I guess I really just don't know what to talk about," I laughed nervously and ran my finger's through my hair, shaking it as I went through it. She smiled at me mischievously. It caught me off guard. But before she or I could say anything, we had arrived at the English Staffroom. I knocked on the door and avoided eye contact.
"Yep?" Someone called from the back of the room, hidden by a bookcase.
"Is ah... Mrs. Armstrong here?"
"Who's asking?" I heard Mrs. Armstrong ask from her desk.
"Ava, we need you to sign the enrolment... sheet... thing." I whispered the last part. There was a shuffling of books and papers before Mrs. Johnson came to the door with a pen, taking the clipboard off me and signing it.
"Enrolling in Year 12? That's very strange." She commented before handing it back to me. "Family in the army or a new job here?"
"I don't live with my parents." I blinked but didn't say anything. It wasn't my place.
"I see, well you best be on your way." She then turned around and walked back to her desk as though Eris had just said that the weather was a little too sunny for her taste.
I looked at Eris. Her face was blank of any emotion - at least for me to see. I wanted to ask her desperately where her parents were, but I decided against it and instead gave her a small smile.
"She's very 'straight to the point'." I told her and then directed her down the hall and around the corner to the Math's department.
