The tiny girl was a mess. Medea hardly bothered to shield herself from the elements other than the Sun itself, giving her parasol out to the first one who asked even under the rain, which was usually me. She was drenched and if she hadn’t gone out of her way to put her hair behind her head, she would have had that creepy ghost look she often employed against Dan.
“Well, it’s not empty! Now get out!” Delanie barked.
“I see,” Medea stoically addressed, nonchalantly wringing some water out of the ends of her incredibly long hair. “It would be presumptuous of me to go against your will while under a place that could be considered your home. I will leave but, do you mind if I take my roommate with me? I have been looking for her,” Medea pointed at Lisa. Lisa moved a little while still under Delanie, preparing to stand up.
“She’s staying the night with me. You may go back alone,” Denise sibilated possessively.
“I have communicated all I needed to say to you,” Medea derisively dismissed Denise and instead addressed Lisa. “We have decided you are done here. There is no reason for you to remain here any longer. Let us go.”
Lisa was still Delanie’s physical superior. As if all Lisa had been waiting for was the permission to do so, she rose to her feet. “Sorry, Delanie. I, uh… have to go. I’m going to be blunt, you look like a nice girl but we really, really need to talk. See you tomorrow at the cafeteria? Say about ten?”
“What are you saying, Lisa? You’re not leaving, are you?” Delanie mourned as if betrayed.
“She has some prior engagements,” responded Medea as Lisa looked uncomfortable answering by herself. “You already have a date if there is anything you need to discuss.”
