“Oh I’m sorry– I don’t know then. I’m sure she’ll turn up somewhere.”

“Crystal,” she echoed, “Can’t say I have. Have you tried the Academy library?”

“Hey, I promise it’ll all be alright.” Althea assured the man, knowing he was worried about how it would work out.

“Most of life is unpredictable Casper, you’re unfortunately going to have to get used to it. And the unpredictable can sometimes have the best rewards.”

“Probably?” Zoe said as she palm struck the brick of sod away from her. “I mean, I know what I’m doing, but I find it’s better to seek forgiveness than ask permission.” She replied.

“Are you sure about that because if you ever need help with something you could always just give me a holler” 

“I like standing and I like staring,” Fizz replied. “Don’t tell me what to do.”

“Are you always this worried about things?” Althea asked with a smirk on her lips.

“You need to take risks sometimes to achieve more. I know what I am doing, I have confidence.” Though she could understand where he was coming from.

“What is it that you’re doing over there?” Casper asked, “Are you supposed to be doing that?”

“You can sit if you like, the seat is free. Or you can just stand and stare, up to you.”

“You haven’t seen my sister have you? About yay-high,” He gestured, “Brown hair, goes to school here, answers to Crystal. I haven’t seen her in a few days and I’m just checking up on her.”

“Well you seemed doubtful that I knew what I was doing, so I wasn’t sure on what else took you by surprise.” Arabella finished up and gave the cat a scratch behind the ears before setting it free from her grasp. “Is this your cat or just one that hangs around here?”
