- She's eight, she explained. And really annoying.
There were times where Bonnie would have kill to have a bit of space. Emily never seemed to understand that. Maybe they were too alike to get along. Maybe Bonnie just couldn't stand to stay so much with someone like her. God, would she hate herself, if she wasn't herself ? The question stayed in her mind for a few seconds, until she got it out. It wasn't the case, no need to think about it.
The little girl nodded, understanding what her classmate was saying. Actually, she seemed to really love her sister, something kind of surprising knowing how she seemed heartless, something that Bonnie could really understand. Yes she sometimes wanted to punch her or throw her something in the face. But she loved her anyway. She didn't really have the choise, did she ?
- Hum no I didn't know, she said, but I understand what you mean. Are you close ? You and your sister, I mean. You seem to really like her.
Avis was more talkative than what the red-haired girl had expected. That was amazing ! Maybe she has misjudged her, after all. That wouldn't be the first time... A large smile on her face, as always, the girl was walking with energy. She was happy to chat !

"She's eight. And really annoying." Huh. Maybe this girl wasn't the sappy girl she seemed to be.
"Are you close ? You and your sister, I mean. You seem to really like her." Okay that was to far. Avis would walk with this girl, she would talk to her, and she would pretend that she didn't want to scram. But she was not going to share her relationship statuses with this girl. Not that she wasn't close with her sister. Her sister was the first person she would go to, for everything, but that was not something she was going to tell a girl four seconds after meeting her.
Maybe she would tell this girl when they were in their fourth year. But if she told her now, well then she would know something. The more that people knew about Avis, the more she shared, the more they could use it against her, the more pain they could cause, and the more vulnerable she would be. Avis wasn't ready for that sort of vulnerability, even if this girl seemed to naive to understand the power it would give her.
She didn't not like this girl, but she wasn't ready to be besties either. So she continued walking, as the stairs flattened onto the first floor, and let the question lie in the air, heavy, until the silence turned awkward. That was fine with Avis, awkward was fine, and she would wait for Bonnie to reevaluate her question.
