She had since long set her account to private, so not a whole lot of people would see it. Regardless, it was part of who Hanna was, and there was little anyone could do about this particular habit. In those pseudo-creative moments, a cute Asian visage helped themself to some brownies. Hanna guided them to some apple pie with enthusiastic eyes. "[color=af4052]You too![/color]" Hanna chimed in response to their courteous wishes. While continuing to fiddle with her phone, going through some messages and notifications, Hanna reminded herself that she should give the parents a call. "[color=af4052]Excuse me for a second, guys. I should give my mom a quick call.[/color]" Hanna said and removed herself from the food tents, walking underneath the open sky again. "[color=cecece]Hello?[/color]" The voice of Hanna's mother, Helene, sounded. "[color=af4052]Mom, it's me.[/color]" Hanna spoke with a clearly changed tone, softer and more personal, perhaps lacking some of that typical enthusiasm that others were used to. "[color=cecece]Oh, sweetie! This makes me so happy that you're calling! How are things in Bennington?[/color]" "[color=af4052]It's fine. We're celebrating Ostara at the moment. And, I baked a delicious apple pie that people seem to like, I think.[/color]" "[color=cecece]That's wonderful! I did my rituals for Spring Equinox this morning. You did yours, I take it?[/color]" "[color=af4052]Yes, mom, I did the solos.[/color]" "[color=cecece]Great. I just want you to do it properly, you know, so you don't forget.[/color]" "[color=af4052]Why would I forget them, mom? I live in a coven. It's literally impossible to forget any witch stuff here.[/color]" "[color=cecece]You weren't always like this, dear.[/color]" "[color=af4052]Like what?[/color]" "[color=cecece]We've talked about this countless times. Do we really need to do it again?[/color]" "[color=af4052]Eh, yeah, yeah, I know what you mean. I won't forget, mom, I promise.[/color]" "[color=cecece]Good! Do you want to speak to daddy? He's right here.[/color]" "[color=af4052]I should get back to it. Give him a kiss for me, though.[/color]" "[color=cecece]I will! Call again soon, sweetie. We love hearing from you, always.[/color]" "[color=af4052]Will do. Bye, mom.[/color]" "[color=cecece]Big kisses, bye![/color]" Hanna took a moment for herself after the call. It did not seem to matter where she went or what she did, that time in High School would always haunt her. To make matters worse, Hanna's mother had the uncanny ability to find a way to bring it up regardless of what they were talking about. At least being in a coven like this was some manner of reset, a new beginning, a blank sheet of paper. Nobody here knew about that time, and Hanna intended to keep it that way. Besides, even if they did know, who would care? Everyone had their skeletons in the closet, just as Hanna did. [color=703b44][i]I should get back. Better shake this off before I do, though. Man, how does this always hit me so hard? Teenagers do stupid shit. Why should it define them for the rest of their lives? It's not fair. But, I know I can change... erhhm, I've already changed. This is bullshit, I'm not like I was in High School anymore, clearly. It's not getting to me... it's not.[/i][/color] Hanna's mind struggled.
