What had happened? It must have happened at the feast last night... But what was "it"?
"What's wrong?" she asked, concerned, forgetting all about the chocolate and her reason for being in the corridor in the first place.
What was it with everyone asking her what was wrong?! Did she have a sign that said she was feeling down these two days? Without thinking, her hand went to her forehead and she wiped the non-existing sign. "
Everything's wrong, actually. Where do I start?" Because this was Vashti and she could know and might explain things, "
Let's start with the stupid summer. I'm going to stay in Aunt Brown's house acting like a doll in a dress!" Exaggerating, "
Then, my family probably won't make it from France in the first couple of weeks and it's been a year since I saw them!" True, "
And lastly, I get a stomachache when I see someone holding someone else's hand!" Understatement- she had a stab in her chest but.. nobody needed to know that.
With an exaggerated sigh, she slipped down to the floor and hugged her knees to her chest to make room for passing students, "
I don't like the fact that I'm..." She never said it before, "
..like I might be liking someone."
Wow. That was a strange fact to the thirteen years old bookworm.
