"I was actually fine last night, fortunately enough!" she says with a smile, then it falters a bit.

Only temporarily, because then her smile is back, similar to how it was before.

Norma doesn't comment. "I'm happy for you, dear. If you ever want to talk about anything, feel free to find me, I'm a very good ear."

"Thanks."

And then they are at the library! "Here it is," says Eva. "Oh – I'm Eva, by the way."

"Thank you, dear. You may call me Norma."

"Do you need anything else?" she asks. "Or…?"

"No, it's quite alright. And I do believe it's time for—" She's interrupted by the bell. "That."

Eva smiles. "Well, I guess I'll see you around, then," she says. "It was nice to meet you."

And then off to class she goes.

As do the others! Theo has History, Sadde has Math with Eva.

She indeed does! It's very mathy. Lots of fun bits of… trig and whatever.

Then afterwards, Eva has History! Theo and Sadde have English.

Yay English.

(Nah.)

Then after English, Theo has French, Sadde has Latin, and Eva has bio!

And Willow has Math but she's a sophomore.

After that: lunch! "So, what are we gonna do?"

"… We could go there now," suggests Theo. "I'm not sure how busy it is around the gym – any idea?"

"His office isn't actually in the gym."

"And we should probably do it when he's not likely to be there. I have gym today, last class."

"Where's his office then? Is it anywhere near the gym, or is it by the staff room, or what? Last period today sounds good in that case, though."

"Between the gym and the staff room."

He nods. "Okay, but problem is – we have class? How long will it take, like, should I see if I can give myself a nosebleed and then hope it heals quickly or something? … Or just ask to go to the bathroom. That sounds probably better."

"Yeah, we can the three of us pretend we need to use the toilet."

"Okay," he says. "That sounds like it'll work, then. Any idea how long it'll take, though…?"

"No more than like ten minutes?"

Pff. "Okay, yeah, sounds good."

"We should be fine, then."

Nom. "Should be."

Lunch continues uneventfully and then they have class again.
