NeeNee Omniscient Omnipotent Pie Maker Cari didn't say a word. Not. A. Word. On the way up to the fourth floor bathroom.
Not a word when Marcus held the door open. Not a word when she walked through it. She waited to speak until it closed behind her.
When it did...
"Don't you think," she asked in such a deadly quiet voice it was obvious that she was so furious that she was beyond the point of yelling, "as the youngest member of the staff, I am the one who is expected to be spreading rumours? Not to have them spread about me?"
She hadn't expected it. It had completely stunned her, there was broken ceramic on the staff room floor to prove it. Not having expected it didn't make the potion go down any easier though. She was utterly acrimonious, and completely betrayed.
