Ever since Elliot went on a trip to Egypt with Presley without her father's permission, though, she had a feeling her father didn't like Presley..and the fact that she was half-blood only made it worse.
But then, something else popped into her head...Presley had been acting more...snobby? No. That wasn't the right word. Uppity? Lately. Not as down to earth..."Do you think my manor is up to 'Black standards' or something?" she shot, her eyes narrowed...it was not likely, but Elliot suddenly felt paranoid. And angry. But not at Presley!
She still didn't sit...she tapped her foot lightly on the floor and glared at Presley...she just didn't understand. And part of her...really wanted Presley to stay over. But that was never coming out of her mouth. Evereverever.
Presley watched Elliot stand there, which wasn't normal. Presley wanted to invite her to sit, but that was weird, because the common room didn't belong to either of them. It belonged to the school, and it wasn't Presley's place to invite Elliot to sit. It was true, Mrs. Morganzo had always been super-overly-kind to Presley. But it wasn't her mother that Presley was worried about.
"But your father despises me," Presley repeated herself.
As the next sentence came out of Elliot's mouth Presley wanted to slap herself in the face. She hadn't meant to say that at all.
"No, God-I mean Merlin no! That's not what I was trying to say." Elliot thought that Presley thought the Morganzo Manor wasn't up to her standards? The two were practically on exactly equal social, political, and economic standing.
"Truthfully?" Presley said slowly.
"It intimidates me a little." And intimidation was not a familiar or entirely comfortable feeling.
