Stevie was here! V saw him as soon as he entered because there was no way in Circe’s Hell that she was doing more work than she needed to, and if this word-search wasn’t being graded, she wasn’t doing it!!! She waved at her friend and gave him a nod.

She didn’t, in fact, want to copy Remy’s, either, because that was also WORK. So V watched allllll the interesting interactions until Professor Holden officially started the lesson. How would she know? Was there a reason she should know? Glancing down at Remy’s word-search, she realized why everyone ELSE seemed to know. It was all about magical schools. “You’re smart,” she whispered as she nudged Remy’s shoulder. There was a reason she, Lisa, Remy, Serena, and Ollie had all formed a study group….because they were all smarter than V, and she greaaaaatly needed their help.

UGH.

She prepared herself mentally for a BORING lesson. SCHOOL was boring, so learning about schools would be just that - BORING. That seventh year [Cooper] who used a lot of big words made V’s eyes widen because what in Merlin’s name was he talking about? Her eyes flickered to the wall for a clock - maybe, if there was one - because was it too early in the lesson to ask to the loo? She needed a walk already. Focus was hard ALREADY.

DARN. That second year [Ruari] beat her to asking to use the bathroom, and so now she had to wait because TWO people asking to use the bathroom would be too much -___-

Ugh.
