Winter eventually came to an end.
The girl’s footsteps clack as she walks down the hall. She stops in front of a certain door. For the first time in three months, she’d be stepping into that clubroom once more. She takes a deep breath, before taking the plunge.
“S-sophie! Can I talk to you?!”
The sounds of paintbrushes scratching at their easels slowly comes to a stop. The entire room turns to look at the girl in the doorway.
From her easel in the back, Sophie slowly stands. The girl sitting next to her tries to grab her hand, but Sophie shakes her head with a shaky smile. She looks up at Alice. “S-sure! Let’s talk!”
They walk down the hall in silence. Both of them are shaking a little, yet both of them try not to let the other see. Alice leads her to the grassy courtyard outside, where they both stand beneath a large oak tree. Green leaves are beginning to bud once more, as the warm spring sun shines down through its branches.
