 Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?
See, Ash wanted to hold her best friend's hand right now. But her best friend was not here. She looked to her left. Well Minjae was standing next to her. But no way was she going to ask to hold his hand. That would be embarrassing. ASH DID NOT NEED TO HOLD ANYBODY'S HAND. Although she definitely did want to.
She resisted the urge to roll her eyes at Emmerson. She didn't have time for that.
"I should go." Ash was possibly the person you would want the least in this spot right now, other than possibly Kale Trent. She had spent most of last year yelling at fake Trent, and she had definitely lied on her blood status form, and she acted like a muggle whenever possible, and she couldn't hold her tongue, and that was the worst combination ever.
It was hard to tell, but there may have been traces of fear in Ash's eyes as she started in the direction of her common room, which she wouldn't feel particularly safe in either. |
