 Daisy
Lex was having a wonderful time at the opening feast so far, when suddenly- WHOOSH!! She heard the sound of flapping wings nearby. She ducked as an owl flew over her head. It landed in front of her friend Daisy, and a sinking feeling came to Lex's stomach. She watched nervously as Daisy opened the letter, and saw her reaction to reading it.
Lex's face went as white as a sheet. She could guess what this letter was about. "Oh no," she whispered, covering her mouth with her hand, shocked. "Oh, Daisy, I'm so sorry." Her new friend was crying now, and Lex couldn't help her own eyes filling up with a few tears as well.
"Daisy, please, please let me know if there's anything I can do for you right now," she said softly as she moved her hand away from her mouth and placed it gently on Daisy's arm where the owl had just been. "I'm here for you." That sounded so cliché. Lex knew that nothing she said could make Daisy feel better right now, but she figured it would be meaningful to Daisy to know she had support here. |
