Fen and Alex
Fen took a drink as she considered what he said. "I don't cuss, my sister has, but I don't and I think 'myself' is not something the teachers don't like." Her brow furrowed under her mask. "But I know Keith and Heather don't like me as me, which is why I'm here. So I think I understand." She was doing that thing where she started to talk to much again.
"But yes, ok. So if you can't be yourself around teachers then, why are you here?" That was where she was confused. If he didn't like school functions with teachers, why come? She paused a moment and added, with smile. "Is it because of the good food?" Fen was still learning how to be humorous.
