WHO: Athena Flick and Diego Cruz WHEN: (backdated) Thursday, 23 August, after classes WHERE: Wishing well WHAT: Old friends reunited and explanations RATING: G-PG
Athena arrived at the wishing well first, which was only to be expected as she knew the campus layout much better than Diego. She was glad too, because it gave her time to collect her thoughts as she leaned against the well, toying with a thick strand of her hair, winding it around one finger while contemplating the small package in her other hand... and the bracelet gleaming on her wrist. As classes were over, she wasn't in uniform anymore, having changed into a cute black dress with a red bolero . Athena didn't want to be in something everyone else was wearing longer than necessary, plus looking good helped calm her nerves. And she was really nervous now.
Why oh why did Princewood have to be Diego's school? She'd always thought he went to SAM because he was so musical! Yet now he was here and could so easily expose her as a fraud to all her friends, and then they would hate her for lying to them. Athena bit her lower lip and traced a line in the ground with the toe of her shoe. She had to make a decision. Either she confessed to Diego and begged him to keep her secret, or she lied to him as well. Neither were appealing options, especially as she wasn't sure she could lie to him. They'd been so close before parting to go to their schools, he was even her first kiss!
The sound of footsteps coming nearer alerted Athena that the person on her mind was approaching. She straightened and smoothed her hair before placing one hand over the other to hide the small package she was holding.
