Kylie walks in with a smile on her face. She’s carrying some books and papers. She’s nonetheless wearing her uniform despite the fact that it is the weekend. Guess, individuals like her by no means really have a break day.

She units down her stuff on the closest desk after which sits on one of many chairs, her posture prim and correct.

“Juno, I am so glad to see you are okay. I used to be so apprehensive!”

The nurse’s phrases from yesterday come again to her “She acted quick and did not panic. Really outstanding… Subsequent time you see her, say thanks.”

“Ah yeah! And effectively that is due to you. I nearly cannot consider it. Significantly, thanks.”

“I-I’d! I imply it isn’t like I’ve something higher to do, aha,” she will’t conceal the unhappiness in her voice.

“I heard about what occurred to your sister. I’m so sorry.”

That catches Juno off guard, “How did you discover out?!”

Kylie appears considerate earlier than admitting, “Oh, I spoke together with your mother and father.”

“Ah.”

She finds it bizarre that they spoke however would not say something about it.

After a second of awkward silence Kylie says,

“Do not look so unhappy, Juno. Issues will work out, I am positive of it!”

“I hope so…”

One other second of silence passes earlier than she speaks up once more her tone turning into one thing extra critical, “You understand, Juno. I perceive your ache.”

“You do?”

The smile would not depart her face as she elaborates, “Sure, somebody I knew went lacking.”

“I’m so sorry you needed to undergo that, however how-how did you take care of it?”

She stops smiling and appears at her within the eyes, “I did not let the ache eat me. I consumed the ache.”

“Um. What?”

“I did not let ache take over me however as an alternative I used it to my benefit. I turned stronger.”

Juno blinks again at her.

“Sorry was that bizarre? Typically I can get intense.”

//Yeah that was bizarre however I believe I am beginning to get used to it by now.//

“Er- sure however I believe I get what you are saying.”

“Hm. That is good. I would not need you to misconceive. I consider that if something good can come from this case, it is that you’re going to be rather more highly effective than earlier than.”

“Ha. There is no means that is gonna occur. Somebody like me? I will by no means change.”

//I will at all times be weak. I did not care earlier than however now, I want I used to be just a bit bit extra stronger.//

“However you will have modified. Chances are you’ll not see it now however you’ll quickly. I might argue that nothing stays the identical, finally change comes. Now, one has the selection on how they’re going to change. Take advantage of out of that selection.”

“Ah, actually? You’ve got modified that a lot?”

“Yup. I always change, I attempt to be higher than I used to be earlier than.”

Juno appears down at her arms, “I ought to too. I wish to do higher.”

Unexpectedly, Kylie places her hand over hers, “You may be nice.”

Her chilly arms and whispered phrases make Juno suppress a shiver.

Fortunately, she takes away her hand shortly after which will get up.

“I’ve to get going! However earlier than I depart, I wish to be sure you’re actually okay? Aside from every part we spoke about, there’s nothing else flawed proper? Do not be afraid to succeed in out to me.”

Her smile turns into smaller, however she accepts Juno’s reply, “Should you insist.” She picks up one in every of her books and walks to the door, “Goodbye! I will not be capable of go to tomorrow as a result of I will be busy however we’ll see one another quickly.”

“Ah, that is okay. Thanks once more.”
