A Missing Journal PV Aurelia Bezuidenhout Close

In the beginning days of December, Tina felt a great need of isolation. The cold weather was encouraging her to stay in and the lack of outdoor activities caused her to resort to studying and reading full time. Her anxiety of people faded since she spent less time with people and her loss of interest led her to spend more time in the Ravenclaw common room. She abandoned the EnchantedSouls  club and the Theaters Art Club since she felt it wasn't going to benefit her academically and was contemplating leaving the Cheer Squad as well as the Secret Society. To her, they felt like work that she no longer wanted to put the effort into. She was content with no longer having to deal with people, worry about seeming normal or fitting in with the "crowd".

At 6:30 in the morning, she left the Ravenclaw dorms in the happiest mood she has ever been. The weekend has finally begun. She was going to take a nice stroll around the castle and ignore anyone who saw her or attempted to talk to her. She didn't care about coming off as rude, but she was giving up on society and its rules. As she made a turn, she saw a girl with a distraught look. While her brain said to leave her, her heart said she had to help. Approaching the girl with a quick stride, she asked plainly with concern, "What's wrong?"
