To be honest the statue was quite ugly.
Hey, hang on a second.
Olly had stepped closer to the statue for a moment to see if maybe he had a name written on him or something when she noticed that there was space BEHIND the statue. She could see the other end of the corridor when she leaned against the wall next to it and peeked through the gap. A year ago she would have probably even fit behind it. Was that like the ultimate hiding spot then? This statue had probably seen A LOT of things then.
Being an observer meant you observed, and that was exactly what this sixth year planned on doing today. She'd pocketed her badge in the hopes of going unnoticed, and it seemed to do the trick. No one had so much as spared her a glance or a wave or the slightest bit of acknowledgement, and when she wasn't vying for attention, that was just the way Alice liked it.
Starting from the bottom floor up, she'd made it a goal to make her way back up to the towers unseen. It had been easy for the most part, but when she reached the statue of and spotted a girl peeking through the gap behind it.. hm.
It was an observing day.
So Alice peered back at her from the other side of Lachlan the Lanky and observed.
