Anya stared blankly at her card, before she was interrupted with Ms Sousa’s speech. Labelle’s death was no surprise to her, yet her lip still quivered at the mention of his death. She caught Lewis Mason’s eye, and after a few moments, she lowered her sight to her squeezed hands. Anya always loved school, especially at Kalopsia Academy, she had never been so nervous before. This year something was off.
With the presentation finished, Anya sat down at a bench. A lounge attendant offered her a glass of water and without hesitation, she took it. She took a sip and the cool liquid running down her throat immediately calmed her down. The ice made it just the right temperature. She held the glass tight in her arms, the cold having a soothing effect.
Anya looked around the lounge, and soon enough, she stumbled upon a familiar face. She stood up, straightened her jumper and made her way to Enzo. She called out his name, and as soon as he looked up at her, her lips curved upwards. She smiled excitedly. She hadn’t seen Enzo in a while, and she was excited to talk to him again. They talked quite a lot last year, but with the gas leak, them getting to know each other got interrupted. Anya wasn’t sure whether she considered Enzo a friend, but she was sure he was about to become one. She was fascinated by him and she had thought about texting him multiple times while at home.
“Long time no see, huh?” she pointed out the obvious. “How have you been? Anything interesting going on?”
Anya thought about what she could tell him, anything that would interest him and make her look good. “You’ll never guess what happened!” she announced excitedly. “I posted some of my designs on my story and a girl asked me to sew her a few skirts and a top. Like, for money. I gained 80 euros for just a few hours of work!” Anya stopped for a moment and thought to herseld, looking upwards. “Well, maybe more than a few hours. But still, it was quite exciting.” Anya laughed at herself briefly, then realised how out of place that was and coughed.
She quickly blurted out the first thing that came to her mind to distract from her awkwardness. " Any exciting discoveries in the astronomy world?" she inquired, looking him in the eyes to show interest.
