"Yay. I love Mr. Squides! He is always so nice to me. I bet he will keep me company while you're.... you're... gone." Nika was reminded of why she was so sad to begin with. Water started to fill her eyes once more and she began to sniffle. Her first true friend was going to graduate and leave her.
"Rex, do you think you can come and visit us in Hogwarts?" Nika tried to offer a suggestion. She didn't want him to leave, it was just too hard.
"Elyon does that make me a selfish person? For not wanting them to graduate?" Nika asked Elyon with a worried look spread about her face. For some reason Nika liked talking to Elyon about this type of stuff. Although her friend could be a bit odd, she is very wise and thinks deeply and Nika admires that about her.
Nika eyes opened wide.
Goblins!?! So that's the language they were speaking when she went to Gringotts to get wizard money. Nika was a bit disappointed to hear that she wouldn't be able to learn sing that gobblethingy. Nika would sing all day if she wanted to, granted its in English of course.
"Mermish!?!" Nika's eyebrows were raised even higher,
"Wow. I've never seen a real mermaid before. I've only seen them in movies. I knew they are real! Wait till I tell mum about this!" She bounced up and down excitedly. Her sadness was put aside for the moment.
"Yeah really! I wouldn't know anything if it wasn't for you!" Nika cocked her head to the side and raised one eyebrow questioningly.
"Hmph. They should believe you! I believe you." Nika held the
necklace that Elyon made for her tightly, in her hands.
"I didn't want my shoes to get stolen so I've been wearing this every day! I only take it off why I have to shower." Nika bobbed her head up and down.
Nika watched as Emily ate. Her stomach begged for food, but Nika wasn't going to eat. She couldn't even think about food when she knew Rex and Halle were going to leave Hogwarts.
"Yeah, you told me in the dormitories. I'm happy for you Halle." She looked at Halle's face and how glad she looked. Nika forced a small smile even though it was hard.
At least someone's happy. Bad Nika bad! Be happy for friend! Smile! Nika is normally such a happy, cheerful, peppy girl, but something wasn't right. Her friends were leaving her. It was always like this. At her old school she would make friends, but they would all leave her too. It's not like Halle and Rex have much of a choice, but the thought of it still made Nika upset.
