 Drake and Archie
Sloane had to smile to herself, noticing how the Professor ignored her enthusiasm for giant poking. It couldn’t have been any more obvious and honestly, all it did was make her want to do it more. Before today’s lesson, she hadn’t been particularly enthusiastic about going into the forest but now, she was almost eager to delve into the dark recesses of the forest and explore every nook and cranny.
The fact that they weren’t going far was less than ideal but maybe she could sneak away from the rest of the students? Even with the buddy system, she didn’t think it would be hard to do so. Professor Adara however was another thorn in her side.
With a small sigh, Sloane turned to the rest of the students and looked for someone she could convince to cover for her while she split off into the forest. As the groups started to form, Sloane stayed away from the larger groups with some of the older kids and instead, found herself walking confidently over to one of her second year housemates (Drake) and someone else from her house who she vaguely knew (Archie).
“sURE. I’ll partner with you,” her expression one of boredom as she walked over to Drake, stopping a little too close so that she could whisper to him, “Just as long as you’ll cover for me so I can try and slip away,” her expression the definition of innocence. “and you too, of course,” she added at the end for Archie. |
