"..I told you! You can leave me already!" Louisa was saying, or hissing at someone if you want to be accurate, as she stomped her feet against the pavement and forward to the platform. "I'm fourteen. I'm not a child!" She rounded on her heels and faced the young woman following her, "And to be honest, I thought mom was going to come here this year. For a change," She folded her arms across her chest defiantly.

Marina was not paying attention to the grumpy mood Louisa seemed to be in this morning because the young girl was right. Mrs. Kimb told her daughter that she'd be there to say goodbye but she couldn't do it. Not that the reason wasn't there, but a fourteen years olds don't usually listen to excuses. "I told you she had to stay with your brother. He's sick," He had asthma or something, right? Marina looked around in search for that Dally boy Louisa babbled about all summer and then met him at thr fountain, he might boost the girl's mood to its highest and save Marina this torture.

Louisa scoffed at her guardian answer, "Yeah. Right. Now she has perfect excuses. Really. Using Johnny's condition as an excuse is a low thing to do," She didn't really care about being polite to her mother or not. She was just… she was hoping that today would be a perfect day as she left King's Cross; her mom, Marina, Dallin, the other friends- everyone she loved would be there and loneliness wouldn't be the highlight of the day. Her mother, however, blew it up AGAIN. Even her aunt wished her a good trip over the phone!
