So, the train in Brugge to Middelburg was delayed, which annoyed the hell out of me. It was around 10:00 when I finally got off the train in Middelburg. I thought for a moment and then decided to see if I could still find Davina’s school. It was not far from the train station and I knew that she had break around 10:30. I could make it. I even took my time to get a cup of coffee on my way to the school.

I entered the school around five minutes before the bell rang. I knew my way around this place, I’d stalked Davina here before. I even knew where her locker was. Only this time, she didn’t expect to see me, so I was really wondering how that would look. The bell rand and those annoying first years appear out of freaking nowhere. I understand why Davina doesn’t like them. They are complete sluts or just weird, nothing in between. I wait and see a group of older people in the middle of the cafeteria and Davina is amongst them. A guy has his arm wrapped around her waist. Wow, what did I miss? She gives him a brief kiss on his cheek and turns around, heading for her locker. Finally. She has a locker in the upper row and has to stand on her tiptoes when she reaches for something. When she is about to close her locker, I sneak up behind her. “What did I miss?” I ask. She drops her books and turns around. “Oh my god, what are you doing here?” she exclaims as she hugs me. “Staling you, obviously.” “Yeah, but aren’t you, you know, supposed to be in school or something?” “Yeah, ‘supposed to’.” I hugged her tighter. “But, seriously, what did I miss?” “Nothing really…” Davina blushes. Well, that never happened before. “Come on, tell me!” “It is a long story. But how on earth did you get here?” “Train, boat, train, walk.” She gives me a soft push. “You know what I mean.” “Well…” I uneasily shifted my weight from one foot to the other and back. “They don’t exactly know it…” “Liz…” Davina sighs. “Okay, again, a long story. You’d be surprised what can happen in two days.” Again, Davina shakes her head. The bell rings. “What are you going to do now?” I shrugged. “Think check out GW, to see if they have new RPG things. I mean, we’ve already finished all chapters and I didn’t have time to check the store in Doncaster.” “You’re sure you can stay there until 4:30?” “Ah, poor thing, you have class till then?” “Sort of. But, I’ve got to hurry. Dekker will kill me if I’m late. Again…” I laugh. “I thought all teacher like you?” “Yeah, I just don’t like her. She’s very strict.” I hug her again. “Well, hurry then. I’ll see you after your daily torture is over,” I say dramatically. I watch as nearly everybody, except for a few older students, to return to their classes. Then I find my way to the centre, time to shop for some new cloths.
