Mia's eyes roved around the room to see who was here and who was walking through the door. She belatedly noticed Pat a few seats away and she gave him a wave and a smile. It had been far too long since they had spoken to each other. She missed talking to him.

And OMG!!

Was that a Prefect badge on his robes???

Her attention was diverted to a flash of blond walking through the door and Mia sat up a little straighter, hoping that Marie was going to come and sit at the same table because Sal seemed to be a little awkward around her.

"Hey Marie. Not much, just waiting for class to start. And to see if Sal here is going to acknowledge my presence or whether he is going to keep ignoring me." Mia turned to look at the boy beside her and she raised her eyebrow at him.
