Lucky was settling into the school here much better than she had back home. She knew that it hadn't been anyone else's fault, but instead it was just a different set of circumstances and the wisdom that comes with growing up. She wasn't the same person she was then, and even though she knew that she still had quite a way to go, she couldn't help feeling like she had matured a lot in the past three years. And then there was the level of freedom that she had found in this new place; so many options that wouldn't have been available to her back home. And she was grateful for them too, and determined to make the most of them, both for herself and for her friends that weren't able to be here. All of these good things in her life didn't keep her from missing her family and friends, but she also knew that she couldn't hide in some hole and not live her life. So, even though her family was always in her thoughts, she was slowly managing to create an extended family for herself here in this new world. And then there was the team and her new friends at school. Though she was determined to make one other thing different here. She was going to keep her grades up and stay out of trouble at school. It wasn't that she sought out trouble, but rather that trouble seemed to find her no matter where she was. So, while it may be hard to keep her goal she was determined none the less. That was the main reason that she could be found in the school library, even though school had ended more than half an hour ago. She wanted to get her homework finished before getting in some extra lacrosse practice and since she needed to do some research for a paper this seemed like the perfect place to work. She had been learning about computers, but she would always prefer the tactile feeling of a book in her hands. So, she was flipping through the pages of a book while sitting at one of the many tables when she heard someone else enter the library. She looked up to see who was joining her. |
