Sue
Sue’s eyes opened to view the ceiling, and it was the new day ahead of her. It really had been a long time she’d been here in the Academy, yet it still never felt like home. Her friends were there and there was the possibility of love in the air with Anthony Luthor but other than that the spirit here was not one that made them feel at home. It was always so dangerous and experimental. Nothing ever felt normal and normalcy was not a thing that they could expect here in the Academy. Perhaps it was just Sue not knowing for sure what she expected much from herself yet. The goal is there, but the journey was confusing and, when grasped ahold of it, difficult.
After her quick jog and exercise/stretch routine and a rushed shower, she made her way to the cafeteria, almost embarrassed and unsure of what to feel about Anthony now. Was she overreacting about Anthony not coming? She did sleep earlier than everyone else. Was he actually just busy? Then why didn’t he tell her?
Sue saw Anthony sitting with her good friend Kijani, a heated discussion erupted and the outburst emanated, drawing eyes to their table as Sue stacked a mountain of food to her tray. She knew Kijani was a tough girl and knew she could handle herself, but it was more of avoiding Anthony that she didn’t go over to them.
She sat at her table and finished her food quickly. It was colder that day, and Sue was, though fully clad, freezing having to eat outdoors. PE was first, and walked her way to the gym, quite ahead of everyone, seated on the top row of the bleachers, exactly where she saw on Day One.
