We didn't talk again for a while and just sat next to each other and looked at the river. I turned to her and didn't even know we were so close next to each other. I looked at her for a while and she looked at me too. We looked into each other's eyes, it felt like an eternity, but it was a nice feeling.
We are still watching each other and we were so close that she was almost touching me. I felt how we were getting closer to each other and we were only a few centimeters apart, but then I saw a drop of water fall on the ground.
I turned and looked at the river. It started raining. We both looked at each other and started laughing.
We quickly got up and ran to school so as not to get wet. Finally, after about five minutes of running up the hill through the large garden, we reached the school.
We were wet and still laughing. After a while of standing in the hall of the school of evil, we heard a voice. It was Miss Dovey and she didn't sound very enthusiastic. We hid behind the corner of the corridor.
D ,, I will kill Lesso. Where is he again,,
Miss Dovey cursed across the hall and Miss Lesso took my hand and dragged me up the stairs.
LL ,, come on let's hide,,
We ran up without knowing where to hide.
LL,, wait we can't go to my room, she will go there,,
A ,, come on, let's go to my room,,
We heard Miss Dovey coming up the stairs and quickly ran to my room. We both pressed our backs to the door and I tried to open it but it was stuck.
LL,, do,,
A ,, I'm trying but the door is stuck,,
I tried to bang on the door and it opened. But with that pressure, it opened wide and because we were leaning against the door, we both fell to the ground. We looked at each other and started laughing really hard. We heard Miss Dovey almost in the hallway and I quickly slammed the door. We heard Dovey knocking on the door and I told Miss Lesso to hide somewhere.
D,, Alice? Are you there ?,,
I opened the door to see an angry Miss Dovey.
A ,, good evening Miss, can I help you in any way?,,
D ,, good evening Alice, I'm just looking for Miss Lessa and wondered if she was here. I heard some bang from here,,
A ,,Miss Lesso? Not today, I didn't see her, why should she be here? Oh and that blow, I just fell,,
I answered her quickly.
D ,, Hmm fine. But Alice, for God's sake, can you tell me why you're wet?,,
A ,, I was on a walk and it started to rain,,
D,, were you out for a walk at eleven in the evening? Alice convenience store is at 10, so let it never happen again. But I'll keep an eye on you, you weren't even at dinner today and neither was Miss Lesso,,
A ,, I say that I don't know where Miss Lesso is, and with all due respect, I'd like to go to bed if you don't mind,,
D ,, of course, let you get up tomorrow morning. Good night,,
A ,, good night,,
The lady left and I was incredibly relieved. I thought it wouldn't work, but apparently it did. I turned around and Miss Lesso was standing behind me. I don't know where she was between Miss Dovey being here, but I didn't care.
We started laughing again when we looked at each other.
LL,, are you ok? Didn't you hit yourself when you fell?
A ,, no, I'm fine, thank you,,
I stood in front of her and looked at her.
LL ,, what is ?,,
A ,, nothing, you just have a beautiful smile,,
She looked at me and blushed a little.
LL ,, thank you ,,
I went to sit on the bed because my legs hurt and Lady Lesso followed me. She sat down next to me and I saw her holding my diary and a necklace from Eddie.
LL ,,here you go, I forgot to return it to you. I'm sorry again for taking your things,,
A ,, it's fine. And thank you,,
I smiled at her and put my head on her shoulder and she put one arm around me.
LL,, what kind of tattoo do you have? ,,
A ,,what ?,,
LL ,,I saw that tattoo, you have it on your side,,
I didn't understand it for a while, but then I remembered that she actually only saw me in a bra, so she probably saw my tattoo. I have a large tattoo on my side that I've had since I was about sixteen.
*this is what the tattoo looks like
A ,, oh yeah, I have a tattoo,,
LL,, yes, I saw that, but what kind?,,
She replied and started laughing.
LL ,, show me. if you want,,
A ,, clearly ok ,,
I rolled up my tank top and Lady Lesso bent down to look at the tattoo.
LL ,, sun and moon, meaning of connection,,
A ,,yes,,
She smiled a little and ran her hand over my tattoo. The tattoo was really big, so my pants covered it. She moved her hand down to pull up the pants a little so she could look at the whole tattoo, my heart was racing and I could feel myself blushing. The lady removed her hand from the tattoo and straightened my top back.
LL,, why this tattoo?,,
A ,, I don't even know, I liked the design and the meaning,,
The lady smiled and leaned against the wall. I sat down next to her and we just sat quietly and thought.
A ,, so you can read everyone's mind?,,
LL ,, yes, only sometimes ,,
A ,, how ever?,,
LL ,, sometimes when I want to yes, but sometimes it's hard, for example with different witches or outcasts, but with you it's don't hard,,
A ,,what ? It is not fair,,
LL ,, you get distracted so easily,,
A ,, hey that's not true
I said in a slightly angry yet ironic tone.
LL ,, wanna bet ?,,
And ,, I wonder how ,,
LL,, hmm,,
I couldn't even answer and Lady Lesso grabbed my cheek and brought her face close to mine. My heart raced even more and I began to breathe heavily. The lady started laughing and turned back again.
LL,, you see? I said it ,,
A ,, but that's not fair,,
I put on an angry expression and the lady started laughing.
A ,, hey, it's not funny
LL ,,I find it quite funny, but if you think,,
A ,, I should probably go to sleep, I'm tired and I have a headache,,
LL,, sure, just come with me in the room, I have something for the pain,,
We went to her room and she lit the fireplace with just a wave of her hand.
A ,,how did you do it?
LL,, you will learn it too, it just takes time,,
I thought for a moment about what she had just done and then sat down on the chair. Miss was looking for something for a while and I was admiring her beautiful room. I was terribly hot, so I took off my shirt, which I threw over the bed, and I was there only in a tank top.
LL,, there you go,,
said the lady, and handing me a bottle of liquid,
LL ,, drink it and it will stop hurting you. But not all, just a little and keep the rest in case you ever get a headache again,,
A ,, thank you very much,,
I got up and was ready to leave.
A ,,good night ,,
LL ,, good night Alice,,
I slammed it behind me and left. I was thinking about tonight, which turned out better than I thought. I went to my room and drank what Miss Lesso gave me. I was tired, so not even ten minutes later we went to bed.
