Callum and Julie Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee Okay, it was very hard to be mysterious and queenly when there was a very sweet-faced Callum there needing her attention. His big eyes were all beseeching and kind of sad, and Katy immediately put both hands over his and gave them a squeeze. It wasn't hard to figure out what was going on with him, even without communicating. She'd had six terms at a different school from her brother, and never the responsibility for her sister, and Callum was doing this for the first time.
He was without his sister, and he was responsible for Chloe. Who, based on the pretty fourth years she was running with, was going to be a handful very soon. If not already.
"You're fine," she told him quietly. "And so am I." Even though she was without all her security blankets. Every year, a new blanket stripped away. She was sort of mostly kind of fine.
She held on to Callum when Julie spoke to her, but Katy gave the girl a twinkle. "Wind charms are just the thing for that, Miss Julie. And you look very pretty. I think everyone should put in effort at least twice a term... the first sight and the last. And if there's a ball..." Well, she thought people should put in effort every day actually. She wanted people to understand that she was invested in herself and cared about herself, and they ought to do the same.
