Good Things

Reyna's POV

"What the hell happened to your face?" Was probably not the first thing I should have asked Thia but I couldn't help it. Her lip was busted and her cheek was heavily bruised along with a bit of swelling under her eye.

"It's a long story," she shrugged trying to dodge the subject. "How was work? You know, being in charge and all?"

"Boring, and you're dodging my question," I pointed out.

"She was walking a friend home and Thia and Jenna got into a scrap. She got a ride home from some guy with a motorcycle and that's all I know," Thalia shrugged, only causing Thia to groan.

"It isn't as bad as it looks okay? I'm fine and I'm hungry so can we eat and not talk about it?" Thia looked hopefully between Thalia and I. I didn't need to say anything and just gave Thalia a look. Should I drop it?

Thalia shrugged again so with a sigh I let the topic go. "Yeah sure."

"Great. Love you." Thia smiled excitedly and opened the door. "Come on. Dining hall. Let's go. Yo tengo mucho hambre."

"Talk about a quick change of attitude." I shook my head watching her skip outside.

"More like her attention span wore off," Thalia snorted. "I can relate."

"Oh believe me I know you can," I laughed, shutting the door behind us. Thalia rolled her eyes despite her amused expression and laced her fingers with mine.

Thia ran up ahead hair flying behind her. She waited outside and bounced on the balls of her feet impatiently- something she'd always done.

"We should walk slower just to irritate her," Thalia smirked.

"That's mean," I laughed.

"But funny," Thalia winked.

"You guys are so slow! Come on." Thia bounced on the balls of her feet even more, clearly growing impatient.

"Oh before I forget there's something I need to talk to you about later." I spoke softer as we got closer to Thia. It was important but not something she needed to worry about. She had a knack for worrying.

I think, to an extent, she felt responsible for a lot of people. Even people she wasn't really friends with. She just had a big heart and cared a lot.

"I'll have to check my schedule," Thalia joked.

"Right, the one that is always completely blank," snorted.

"What? The schedule she pretends to have?" Thia asked, picking up on our conversation.

"Wow look at you. Horribly sarcastic. So fun," Thalia sighed.

"You only pretend you don't like me," Thia grinned, jumping on her back.

"Holy shit you're heavy." Thalia pretended to stumble.

"Gee thanks." Thia rolled her eyes and shot me a look that translated to what is wrong with this woman?

"Everything." I mouthed earning a boisterous laugh from Thia.

"Onwards. To the food!" Thia smiled, wrapping her arms around Thalia's neck.

"Don't choke me. Loosen your grip," Thalia grunted ,walking off to the usual table. It occurred to me that Thia didn't really have friends to sit with. She'd never been interested in other people for the most part.
