"Miss Stone?" Hadley approached. "You seem ... perplexed. Is there something I could maybe help you understand?"
You know, because she didn't want Ellie to feel lost and all, being the kind professor she was.
"Hmm?" Ellie said looking up to see Hadley. Well. Heh. She shoulda figured it was her, you know? No one else would approach Ellie as 'Miss Stone'. Which...she didn't really like anyone doing. It was just...formal. But, in class, she'd let it slide. Out of class, though, she'd want to be 'Ellie'. For sure.
"I just don't..." Get the point. Yeah. OR get HOW a STICK was supposed to ANSWER a question. Ludicrous.
She looked up at the professor and smiled,
"No, I'm good."
Fib. Not a lie. Fib. There was a difference.
