Chapter Ten

We didn’t talk about what had just happened, what I saw, or even her shoe. We walked in silence trying to figure one another out.

We made it back without being seen or what I considered not being seen even though the retired professors that hung on the wall watched our every move up the stairs.

“There was a framed picture on the mantle of Faith and Raven from when they were little. I mean toddler-little. I find it odd that they have been best friends for. . .ever.” I shuffled my foot along the floor while I looked down, noticing that Hili only had one shoe on.

“Where is your shoe?” My mouth dropped.

“I couldn’t get it out of the mud. And you took off so fast that I left it there.” Her words were rushed and panicked.

“Oh, Hili.” I smacked my forehead with the palm of my hand. “Now they are going to know that we were there.”

“I’ve never been into the woods until now. I didn’t know it was so muddy. Come on.” She waved me toward her room. “I have a coffee pot my dad sent me. I’ll make us a cup before we have to go to class.”

“If anyone asks, just say that I was curious about the University and you decided to go with me. Nothing more.” I crisscrossed my fingers over my heart. “Promise?”

She crisscrossed. “Promise.”

Her room was everything I never wanted in my room. The leopard print was plastered everywhere including the rug and wall hangings. Pictures of a happy family displayed all over the walls showed Hili smiling in each of them. Hili was one pampered daddy’s girl.

“That’s my daddy.” She smiled, proud as could be. “He wants me to be really successful in school. How do you know Professor Sandlewood?”

“She and my mother were best friends.” I continued to pick up little knick-knacks she had sitting around her room. “She helped me get through a really hard time when I first moved to Whispering Falls”

“Do you think she really hurt Faith?” She asked. She walked over to the mirror she had hanging on the wall and corrected the lining of her lipstick. “I mean, she really didn’t like Faith.”

“I know she didn’t hurt Faith.” The coffee smelled really good. “How do you know they didn’t get along?”

“You know. Teacher student stuff.” She waved her hands in the air. A little spark left her pointer finger. She giggled. “Sorry. Sometimes it goes off without me making it. That’s why I go to school.”

“Can’t you give me a specific?” I wasn’t a ‘just-cause-you-should-know’ kind of girl. I wanted pure, hard, facts as to why Faith and Eloise had a strained relationship.

“Faith is so uppity and thinks that she should pass because of her family money. Professor Sandlewood makes you work.” Hili took two mugs from the closet. I peeked in, but she slammed it shut before I could see anything.

Curiosity had gotten the best of me. “What’s in here?” I put my hand on the doorknob, ready to twist it.
