Tessa was used to sympathetic looks and general avoidance, mostly because she had encouraged it the last couple of years. Today it was as if she were invisible. And that was wonderful. Whenever a teacher went to call on a student, their eyes slid right over Tessa, a sweet answer to her prayer. It wasn't that she was marked absent or anything, when her name was called for roll she said here and the teacher nodded at her a moved on. It was only when Tessa sank down into her chair and hoped to not be noticed for the complicated history question about Waterloo, how was she supposed to remember 1815? This was the best day ever.

She had a text from Jay letting her know there was a meeting for astronomy club. She was not surprised. After the eclipse yesterday there had to be a meeting. If they had known there was supposed to be an eclipse they would have had a meeting to watch it. That would have been cool. 

There was also a text from Nina. Tessa could feel her eyes burn a bit as she read the message. God she hated that. Everything that Janice had touched burned with her memory. Nina was just too much. That was without the jealousy that Tessa harbored for Nina and Petyr, they still had each other. Not that she would ever want something to happen to either one of them, but how could they understand. 

After a moment's deliberation she sent back [color=cd9575]"I won't be home."[/color] She was already planing on hiding out somewhere all day, probably even avoiding school if she could tomorrow. The idea of dealing with people tomorrow made Tessa's stomach cramp.

For now though she had Astronomy club with the others. This was going to be interesting. She entered the normal classroom and saw that there a few non regulars in the room, as well as a total mess of papers and coffee. Whatever she had just missed must have been interesting. Jay must have rustled up everyone he could think to have come here. She gave a smile and nod to those she was friendly with, Scout, Kat and Gerard. 

Tessa turned to Jay, [color=cd9575]"I'm glad we're having this meeting. The eclipse was weird."[/color] Tessa rubbed the back of her neck it was still throbbing from the headache, another reason she was happy the teachers had ignored her all day. [color=cd9575]"Also I think the teachers finally realized how much I really just don't want to be bothered this week, not a single one of them called on me, it was glorious."[/color]
