The first thing you notice - Ms. Brüngger is back, seemingly deep in thought. Her attention seems split on looking into the alley with the crime scene... And, weirdly enough - or maybe not - gently brushing Angelina's hair as she clings to her waist, teary eyes closed.
Meanwhile Jaq and Alex stand silently by the sidelines, both evidently not in the mood.
No way your absence wasn't noticed.
Gulping, you make your way to the tall authoritative brunette. When you do, her concentration breaks, and so her passive expression; in favor of an angry scowl. You gulp again, clinging to You Cat that much harder.
"Miss Nakamura!" She seethes, and instantly Angelina's eye opens wide. "It's against protocol to split from groups durning dangerous events, is it that difficult to understand? You are delaying evacuation, and risking the lives of others, is that how you were raised, young lady? Where were you exactly? Tell me, but know I don't tolerate-!"
Suddenly she coughs, but her anger dissipating as if it wasn't there. "Angelina, sweetst flower of mine, please, *cough* not that tight..." She breaths out.
"My A-apologies..." Angelina stutters, voice quivering, then slowly relents. Her single furrowed eye constantly meets yours, but everytime shies away.
Collecting herself, Ms. Brüngger continues, now a little calmer. "Nevermind that, let's just get over it. Come here, girls."
When called upon, Jaq and Alex join you. Meanwhile Angelina hesitantly let's go of her hug, but still stands close to the teacher, with her back to the alley, and looking downwards. At that, Jaq shakes her head with a frown, but Alex slowly pats her on the back.
Satisfied, your teacher continues. "Finally, we are full. Remain where you were, don't cause further trouble, meanwhile I..." She trails off. "Make sure everything goes according to the protocol... And one more, crucial, thing. It's the time of exams, and it would be unfortunate to worry other students with such tragedies. Therefore, you are not to speak about it with anyone. They don't need to know, and you will be better off without doing it either. As you know, our school has a strict anti-bulling rules, and anyone who spreads harmful rumors will be severely punished." She informs you all... And yet her gaze only lands at you.
"Alright, and..." Ms. Brüngger finally faces Angelina again. "It will be fine, everyone." She says with a gentle smile and ruffles her raven hair. Then she promptly leaves towards the bloodied alley.
"Talk about favoritism. Hag." Jaq spats with shaky voice, making Angelina stir. Then darts to where she stood before.
Immediately, Alex follows, but not without giving you a sad nod. "Mistress Jaqueline is having a hard time. She will get over it. Oh, and the girl from before lives.Thankfully, in my humble option. Good to have you back."
Soon both of them stand by the lockers a dozen or so meters away, seemingly silent. With Jaq living up to what Alex said, and looking quite distressed.
