*ahem*
She cleared her throat loudly to get the attention of the boy who was currently trying to make a sneaky escape. She should have known not to trust him to stay put!
"I'm guessing you're heading off to get a quick drink of water, Mr. Upstead? I just can't believe you would sneak away from me after I asked you so politely to stay," she said, leaning against the wall and giving the boy a slight frown. The toe of her left shoe tapped lightly against the floor while she waited for him to turn around and come back. She should dock points for this little escapade. Really, she should.
>.<
That was like the face Jake made when he heard a throat being cleared from somewhere behind him. The boy froze in his very position and, when Ashford mentioned getting a glass of water, Jake coughed a little and kind of half turned back.
"Errr..." he tried, and bit down hard on his lip.
Well... this was most definitely not good.
"Errrrr... oh, luhh-look! here gggoes Puhh-professor Lllllawson... I nuhh-need to... ask him ab-about... hhhhomework," Jake lied quickly, feeling physically sick at the thought of lying... or maybe that was just his feeling ill.
...
Either way, Jake turned tail and tried to run off.
