Emily managed a small quirk of a smile at Mr. Kaden as she took a seat her arms wrapped around herself like they had been since she got back. It was a move she did unconsciously when her emotions were out of sorts. It was if she was holding herself together to prevent the emotions from bursting out.
At his offer of coffee she shook her head as one hand went up to move some hair behind her ear, "No...I don't care for coffee. Thank you though." Her voice sounded foreign even to herself. No longer the chipper high pitched tone she was used to. This voice was low and gravely. Hoarse almost.
After the initial conversation on the boards with Mr. Cavanaugh and Ms. Menides she did feel bad about how she snapped at them but...even after everything...she still felt like by leaving she didn't do anything wrong. Her father sent her tickets thus telling her everything was sorted out. However after looking back on it she did get her strong will from him and like her he didn't like being told was he could and could not do. So he probably heard back and thought, 'Like hell will they tell me what I will do with my daughter,' and sent her the tickets as an act of defiance. He probably hadn't thought how she would be the one who'd have to deal with the backlash. If Ms. Menides or Mr. Cavanaugh wrote to him about her behavior he wouldn't punish her. Hell, he might even be proud of her. But when it came down to was that Ms. Menides and Mr. Cavanaugh and the detention that she wanted to talk about. While that was there, something else was weighing on her mind. Up until now she hadn't really know how to word it but it finally came to her. She glanced up to meet his eyes,
"I'm not...happy here. Being here doesn't make me happy and excited anymore."
