"…"
Agua remained mostly in silence as she heard her friends talking, wishing she could have met them earlier, so she could speak to them like this too.
The way they spoke so casually, commented about things and more, they were all signs of a friendship that had lasted at least a year, the familiarity was palpable, and something she secretly was jealous of, a bit.
She knew her feelings were wrong, so she suppressed them, she was happy that they befriended her to begin with but…
She couldn't help but feel lonely sometimes, even when surrounded by people.
"So Aquarina is going to leave?" She thought. "After the inheritance trial she'll do, she will leave…"
She sighed, gripping her fists tightly, her mother noticed her expression instantly, but didn't say anything. She knew how her daughter was, and she also knew that saying anything now would only make things worse.
