Aliyah loved spending time with Duncan, and they seemed to fit together like a well oiled machine.  They worked side by side planning things, ok so he planned and she agreed or suggested small changes to the plans. She noticed Marcia paying extra attention to her, especially when she was with Duncan, but she just put it off to Marcia wondering what this girl was doing here.

Aliyah was thrilled at the idea of seeing pieces of Duncan's past.  She was practically vibrating with excitement as they approached the school.  She listened to him talk about the things he did, and the ball games he played.  She slipped her hand in his as they walked down the now empty halls towards the class room where she would meet his favorite teacher.  

He led her through the door and she did a double take.  She knew of Kassandra Soleil, anyone who read more than a book a year did.  She looked at Kassandra, and then again at Duncan then back to Kassandra before clearing her throat and managing to squeak out a greeting.

Her hand tightened in Duncans for just a moment before she extended it to Ms. Soliel.  "It is truly a pleasure to meet you."  She said, not moving far from Duncan's side.
