"You needed to speak to me, ma'am?" he said, as respectfully as she could. She was real big on that, right?
Once they were safely away from everyone Cece looked at the prefect and spoke in a hushed tone.
"I'm going to make this quick so listen carefully." And if he didn't well let's just say she wasn't going to repeat herself.
"You may find this hard to believe but I did hear what you were saying in detention." There, she admitted she really was listening to the boy. "I can see that Minerva is already eating the ice cream and syrup, and this is a good thing. She needs to eat that syrup. All the flavors if she wants." She looked over at the girl shoveling the ice cream in her face, than back at Ethan.
"Trust me, things will be changing soon. You will be seeing a whole new Minerva by the end of the day." She then leaned in and whispered something to him.
She moved away from the boy.
"It wouldn't hurt you to eat some ice cream with her. Show her that you are there for her. I promise, nothing will happen to you, as long as you eat the syrup too. Now go, get back over to your girlfriend and help her."
