 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Everyone was still noticing her despite her best attempt to hide, weren't they? Rachel figured it was best to crawl under her workstation and was actually considering doing exactly that but then a thought popped into her head. She wasn't a coward. No, she was going to have to face this so she smiled at her fellow Housemate. "Hello, Kitty.''
The Eagle stood still and admittedly, a little apprehensive for Esme to perform the spell. She didn't feel any different but at the Hufflepuff's exclamation, she made a grab for her mirror. "They are! Thank yo-'' She broke off as the lines began to appear again. "They're back.'' She hung her head, trying to fight off the tears that stung her eyes.
But at that moment, there was a voice which announced Professor Art's arrival. Rachel peeked over in his direction to find him already staring at her. She gave him a faint smile. Partners? She knew exactly whom she wanted to work with but there seemed to be no way Haddie would want that. Despite having so many friends, David was the next person she would want to partner up with. She chanced a look in his direction. Oh no! He too was already looking at her. She bit her lip again. Actually, she realised he was staring at her. The first year noticed his lips moving but because he was so far back in the classroom that she didn't have the faintest idea that he was stammering her name.
Oh! Esme wanted to be her partner? Rachel decided she would like that. It looked as though David had found a partner in Olivia, anyway. She turned away from his direction, trying to keep her face away from his bespectacled vision (she happened to like his glasses a lot, by the way) "I'll be happy to work with you, Esme.'' |
