Slowly.

Ella was inching slowly towards the classroom, hand on her lower back because ouch, painful. She'd had aches and pains after particularly hard workouts and stuff but really, she had no idea where this particular hurt had come from. Whatever it was, it wasn't welcome. Go away, pain, see you never.

Also something that needed to go away, any lint she was carrying on her. Lint rolling happened slowly too...for reasons.

Anyway, Professor Airey was talking to a fish. Normally suspect behavior if it had come from anyone else but Ella wasn't surprised to see the Astronomy professor doing it. The man was in love with a particularly cheerful looking rock for Merlin's sake. Why wouldn't he have a fish for a friend too? Besides, talking to animals was nice. Ella rapped to talked to Dino, Nox, and Donatello all the time. "Hey, Professor!" Just looking at him crouched down like that hurt her back more. "Nice fish you've got there." Fish companion got a finger wiggle in greeting and then Ella looked for a seat by...

Boyfriend!

Smilesssssss for the boyfriend, yup. The head girl took the seat beside him and sat back before saying quietly, "Hey there."

Why...was he rubbing his face like that?
