[code]Grand Ridge Academy – Outside Tuyen’s Dorm[/code] [hr]	

Tuyen stiffened at first as Justin hugged her before allowing herself to relax into it. It was nice to get some kind of comfort after everything that had happened in the past month. And as much as she’d like to, she realised she couldn’t really pretend to be okay right now. It would take an idiot not to notice how much of a mess she was. 

Min had been too busy trying to think what exactly was meant by magic, [i]how[/i] exactly that fire had appeared, that he didn’t notice Tuyen had appeared until well after she’d come out. When he did a frown crossed his features and he turned to face the other two. “Tuyen, you-”

“Min,” Tuyen cut him off before he could say anymore, not even bothering to hide how tired she sounded. She took a step away from Justin before continuing to talk. “I appreciate you coming to check on me, I really do, but I’m not really in the mood to talk to you just now. Sorry.”

It was a first for her to refuse to just give in to Min’s need to spend time with her. Normally she wouldn’t mind, but right now it wasn’t something she wanted to do. Even though she’d managed to ignore her shadow for now she didn’t know how long that would last. She’d just rather not have Min around until she figured this all out.

Of course, Min didn’t take it particularly well. He’d come all the way over here in the hope of checking on his cousin before classes, yet she wanted him to leave. Of course his somewhat sour glare turned to Justin – he couldn’t be annoyed with Tuyen for it, that was just impossible. There was a high chance that it was Justin’s fault in some way. However he didn’t say anything, just giving a slight nod to Tuyen. He’d leave her in peace for now, as much as he disliked it, and talk to her later.

Holding back a slight sigh and adding her cousin to things she was ignoring right now, Tuyen turned back to Justin. “Do you, uh, have time to talk? It’s been a while.” She glanced at Min again. “Somewhere else, though.”

[code]Grand Ridge Academy – The Parking Lot[/code] [hr]

“It’s okay, Jordan, thanks,” Rien spoke to their friend first before responding to David, honestly glad she’d said something. But it wasn’t like what David said bothered them that much. Well, at least they’d make it look that way – had to keep up the whole not caring thing.

“I remember most of the end of the night,” now turning to David, Rien gave another slight shrug. “It would be hard to forget especially since I was too drunk to do something about it.” If anything that was part of what had disturbed them the most, the fact that they’d witnessed it all (and remembered it) while being close to passed out. Not that it had stopped them drinking as much afterwards. 

“I’m afraid I just forgot you, even if I didn’t forget the night as much as I might like to. No hard feelings! I’m just not very good at remembering people when I’m drunk.”

That was a lie, they remembered some people very well from when they were drunk, but if it made David feel better it seemed like the right thing to say.
