Gazing

[Alexis Ziamian]

Alexis Stared out of the tall window, thinking about the holidays. She certainly wasn't looking forwards to them. She would have to face speaking to her mum again, finding out whether she had got herself another baby, with another husband. She hated the thought of it. She frowned to herself, flicking dust off the stony window ledge. She wished somebody would support her with her life. It was so miserable on her own. She had no real brothers or sisters to look forwards to meeting. Only a new half-brother or sister, which made her wince, because she realised she'd thought of the subject again. To take her mind off it, she gazed out of the window. There was a movement in the distance. She thought about heading over there, but then thought better of it, as everybody thought she was spying on them, when really she was just very nosy. She sighed, and wished somebody would come round the corner to talk to her...

 

[Imogen Day]

Imogen walked the halls with a book out in front of her. She'd been reading as she walked. Revision on the move. Although Immy had more than once almost walked into a wall or someone, she still walked and read. She finished the chapter and closed the book just as she came to the first floor. She looked to where she was walking and was glad to see a more or less empty corridor. Imogen held the book in her hand, wondering where she should go next. After walking the corridor a little longer, Immy spotted a girl, who looked like she was in Immy's year and the girl appeared bored. Being a little bored herself, Imogen walked over.

"Hey, you alright?" Imogen asked the girl with a bright and friendly smile.
