Back at Home

Y/N's pov
It's Friday, all my lessons are over. We agreed that for todays 'detention', Larissa would just drive me to the airport. To be honest, I really enjoyed spending time and getting to know her. There's something about her that makes me feel safe. I can't quite wrap my head around it, but that's how she makes me feel.

I make my way back to my dorm to do some final packing before we leave for the airport. I have been avoiding Marilyn all week, she has tried talking to me after classes but I never stayed. I feel bad for ignoring her, but it's just the way it has to be.

"Hi, Enid." I say to the girl laying on her bed while opening the door. As I make my way to my side of the room and grab my bag to pack the last few things, Enid looks at me questioningly. "Hi, Y/N! Are you leaving somewhere..?" She asks me while sitting on her bed, crossing her legs.

"Yes, I am. I'm going home." I watch the girl get really confused. "Why? For how long?"
"I have to get stuff from there for the trip to Paris. And I'm probably just going to be there for the weekend." I tell her while I put my hair brush in the bag and zip it close.

"Oh, well have fun! Does anyone else know that you're going home?" She asks me with now almost an interrogative expression. I know who she's talking about but decide to ignore it. "No, only you and Ms Weems. You can tell Yoko and Wednesday and the others if they ask." I say to her, turning my back on her once again while picking up the bags.

"What about-" She starts her sentence but cuts it short due to hesitation. I sigh and turn around, looking straight into her indeterminate eyes. "If she asks, tell her you don't know. Please?" I ask her, giving her a slight, hopeful smile. "Okay." She almost whispers while she gets up and runs to hug me.

"Good bye, Enid. I love you and I'll see you soon, okay?" "Bye, Y/N, I love you too. See you soon!" We pull out of the hug as I make my way to the door. I open the door and look back at her, giving her a little wave along my smile. She does the same and as I step in to the hallway, I close it.

"Are you ready now, do you have everything you need?" Larissa asks me after I go to her office.
"Yes, I think I do. Shall we?" I say to her and she nods. We walk to her car and soon hit the road. I take a swift look at the Nevermore castle one more time.

Our drive to the airport takes about 30 minutes. We don't speak that much but it's still not awkward.

"We're here." Larissa stops the car. "Do you know how to get to the plane or do you want me to walk with you?" She asks me.

"I think I can go on my own, thanks." I half smile at her. "Thank you, Larissa, for this week. Even though it was supposed to be detention, I have to admit that I had a really great time getting to know you." I babble to her without thinking too much.

"I had a really great time, too, Y/N. I would love to keep spending time with you when you come back, does that sound good?" She asks me. I hesitate a bit, but then nod whilst biting my lip.

"I should get going." I say to her and unbuckle myself from the seat belt.

"Hold on" Larissa says and grabs my wrist gently before I have the chance to step out of the car. I sit back in, looking up to her blue eyes. She smiles a bit and says "Hand me your phone." "What?" I chuckle a bit with a confused look. "Just trust me." She says.

I give my phone to her and open it. She seems to be typing something up. After about a minute, she says "Here, I added my number. You can text or call me whenever you want, about anything you want.
