Private Following Up

Andrasta sort of rocked her head side to side. She wasn't sure how to put this. "I... used to prank the teachers all the time. And my dorm parent, before I got a foster family. Like one time I snuck into the school over the weekend and put glue in the keyhole for the door to my teacher's office. It hardened and she couldn't get her stuff for Monday's class."

She was trying not to seem proud of it. On a certain level she was proud, though, because that prank owned. But she wasn't going to endorse that kind of behavior now, of all times.

"I don't do that kind of thing anymore, though." She was firm on that. She wanted to win President. She didn't want to get disqualified.

"Nah, prolly not. Don't wanna mess up my chance of winning by causing that kind of trouble. Plus we're gonna be be on student council together, and I don't want to make him hate me." She shrugged and finished off her breadstick.

"I'll probably just talk to him about this, though. And kick his arse a little if I have to." In the off chance that Orsick was actually in the wrong on this, she liked to believe that she would totally get on his case. That's the kind of friendship they had, she thought, where they would call each other out on stuff like this if they had to.

Andrasta just shrugged. "I mean I'll talk to him."

She ate another couple of bites, thinking for a moment about how she'd bring this up with Orsick. Then she shelved that. It was probably a good time for a subject change.

"...Do you think you'd go to a party at the lake, if the school was putting it on? And if it got warmer out, obviously."

Andrasta thought about this for a second, then decided to come out with the truth. She wasn't going to make everyone happy. "I mean, I've known him for years, we hang out sometimes, and we're probably gonna be on the council together. So I guess the rumor was kinda bothering me."

She sipped her drink again. "What I really didn't want to do was be like, 'oh he's my friend, he'd never do that, you're a big liar' when I don't really know anything. Because I've gotta be better than that."
