Elizabeth Harrington
Elizabeth watched her new friend in confusion.
First she had scared her by talking of corruption ... people who wanted to control the school ... then in the next breath it was all OK and not that bad ... Elizabeth did not know what to think.
"Shopping ... sure ... though ... it's not something I do much of.
We have to wear uniform all the time here ... and I'll not be going anywhere in the holidays so ... why bother?"
She spoke softly, too worried about Moni's earlier revelations to keep the usual guard on what she said.
Friendship had its merits ... but ... could it get her into trouble.
It certainly had made her aware of things that ... really were not her business.
She picked up her book and shrugged almost in dismissal.
"Weren't you off somewhere earlier...?"
She didn't want to be rude, but Elizabeth was rapidly finding that solitude was much less ... worrying ... than this embullient girl's offered friendship.
"I guess I should study my timetable ... I can't even remember what my first class is tomorrow ... "
Class and timetables and studying ... these were what Elizabeth knew about ... what she felt safe with.
And yet ... as she thought of the Headmaster, no doubt standing up giving his welcoming speech to the assembled party at "tea", she could not help playing some of Moni's accusations through her mind.
But of course ... she must be wrong ... but ... deep down Elizabeth knew Moni spoke the truth; a most disturbing truth.
Elizabeth sighed deeply, her book hanging limply from her fingers.
School had been her only refuge.
Hard work her only path to sanity.
Would she be able to lose herself in study again, having been given such a warning?
