~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Mind helping? Claudine wouldn't actually. Decorating {in addition to eating all the sugar cookies were the best parts of the holidays {call her #CookieMonster}. Yes, even more than presents. “Sure, Headmaster. I can do that.” She tossed a look at Carsyn that beckoned the other girl so they could get started. As for Blake… could he stay with his prim, proper and perfect girlfriend instead? Claudine moved over to the box to get started as the music echoed through the Hall. Oh, she knew this one and found herself humming along to it as the cookie was polished off.
You know what? One cookie never was enough. “I’ll be back,’’ she told Carsyn. At the refreshment table once more, Claudine snagged a tissue, piled cookies onto it then crammed it into the pocket of her pajama top. All set for decorating she was. But would Carsyn mind if Claudine took a few more minutes to observe the others? Aboli was looking sick, Schmoe looking rather unique, Eris doing a good job with his own decorating, Kitridge was looking even more bouncy, the house elf helpful as always, Heath decked out in the Star Wars things {of course}, Cole and Naya being all lovey dovey {gag}, that suspicious Raine man no doubt was going to target other students for stupid quotes like he had done to her in the Barn.
Seeing prim, proper and perfect Bellchant head her way, towards the table, Claudine quickly slipped away and beelined for Heath. She hung back a bit until Ivy had done speaking to him. “Hi, Ivy. Hi, Heath. Either one of you want to help me decorate a tree? Trent assigned Carsyn and I to one.’’
Hey, it was the Holidays and that must have put her in a slightly social mood. |
