I was walking around the club stalls. The first week of high school might've started off a bit too harsh, but I was going to make up for it.
I giggled at Steffanie's reaction to Annabelle. Her disoriented face comes back to me.
And July. July didn't say anything. But the silence she kept was more effective than a thousand words.
I stopped in front of the drama club stall. The only girl present stood behind a dusty table, full of things. Fountain pens, heaps of papers in small handwriting, a few complementary fake skulls.
I loved it.
The girl was on her phone. She looked bored.
- Hey, do you still have open slots? I ask, standing in front of the table.
She looks up at me with the same dazed look.
- Oh, yeah, we have two more. You came right in time, a dude came before you and asked if we can keep him a space.
I let out a sigh. I really did have perfect timing.
She gave me two papers to sign. I rushed my eyes thru them.
- You don't have to read them, they don't have any scams written between the lines, she said, completing something on her notebook. I can assure you, we won't keep you here for the entire four years. You can leave whenever you want.
I nodded.
- What's your name? And number.
- I'm Annelies Doris Turner, student 56.
Her eyes widened.
- Oh, you're Ronald's sister? she asked, rising an eyebrow.
She only seemed curious.
- Yeah, why?
- We've had the same home-class last year, she said, ripping a paper off her notebook. I was a freshman back then, and he was a senior.
She smiled.
- Tell him Bia says hi, she added, giving me the paper. Keep this. We have the selections tomorrow.
I smiled back. I was happy there were still people who wanted to know a bit more about me. Only a bit. Acquaintances. Always useful.
I went back on my way, reading the paper as I was walking. I've mastered the art of reading in motion since 7th grade.
"Annelies Doris Turner (aka Ron's sis)
Drama club application
Selection date: tomorrow (duh)
Signed by
Bya
btw, don't try the canteen fries. they're always soggy."
I laughed. Bia clearly has some good sense of humor.
Someone bumped into me. I turned to them. But before saying anything, I recognized him.
His curly hair was vibrant blue.
He had dark circles around his eyes.
He had the same pale skin.
Seems I found Blue too...
He looked at me from above with his tired expression.
I have no idea why I imagined Blue so tall.
Like, 6ft 1 was the tallest person I knew.
And I made Blue 6ft 5.
I stared at him. And he looked back at me, smiling.
