 Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!
"I wasn't sleeping," she lied, badly, and tucked her neatly braided hair behind her shoulder in an attempt to look more alert. Maybe it would be good to practice that, the lying, over the summer. It might come in handy one day, for survival and such.
Though, if she could make it through this past year, she probably didn't need any extra survival skills.
"It-it will be...odd...f-finally seeing family," she noted to the two other girls. She wondered if the first year and Violet would have a hard time explaining their lack of communication to their families, like she anticipated having to do. Maybe that's where she could start, with the lying practice. Lying about why she hadn't written and hadn't come home for the holidays. At least she wouldn't have to explain all of her pants being too short, having grown several inches since her Babulya last hemmed them.
Maybe she should learn how to sew.
