Inés sat with Nadia's arm around her shoulder, eyes glassed over with tears. It was all she felt like she was doing these days was crying.
And praying - though she'd had no divine intervention so far (and if she had, God must have fucking hated her).
"Inés." She heard Nadia whisper. The girl had muttered her name a few times in the past hour they had spent huddled next to each other, but this was the first time it had really captured her attention. "Look."
She lifted her head slowly, watching with wide eyes as the Inspector, accompanied by two other officers, dragged a handcuffed student out of the classroom they were using to interrogate them.

As much as she willed herself to like her, Inés found Cayetana infuriating. Although the girl seemed to worship the ground she walked on, she couldn't find it in herself to reciprocate the affection.
There was a time where she thought she might have, but the persistent buzzing of her phone to let her know that Cayetana was calling her solidified that the girls were just too different from each other.
Inés couldn't stand clingy people, and by the time the night was through, that wouldn't be the only thing she resented Caye for.
She could admit, the rooftop rented for Cayetana's charity gala was gorgeous - but she expected nothing less if it was arranged by Lu. The guest list was extensive too, but Inés was the only Almero to be making an appearance. Her parents spent too much time arguing to be ready before they had to leave.
Inés had all about drowned her sorrow in champagne though, before a figure in red glided it's way over to her.
"Finally!" Cayetana shrieked as she embraced the girl, rocking her side to side in excitement, "Isn't it stunning? I haven't been anywhere this fancy in my entire life!"
