[ Margaret locks the bathroom door with a self-satisfied smirk ( and a lot of vindictiveness ) and steps back to survey her handiwork, the tip of her tongue rubbing over one canine as she narrows her eyes at the door that is shaking with the force behind two fists thumping against the other side.
Going to the school at Falner is hard and not nearly as fun as she thought it would be. The first few weeks were okay, but then one of the boys in the class she shared with her brother had started bothering Renae, constantly coming over and picking the seat to his other side -- or behind him, or in front -- once she'd convinced her twin that the seat by the window had an excellent view of the lawn and Father Clayce.
It's been the worst birthday month she's ever had, her mother leaving them to the care of her uncles while she was away on an assignmebt where they couldn't tag along. She understands, at some level, that things are changing, now that they have come to live at Netsach--
--but did it really have to change so much?
She hears the boy call out ( pitiful, really ) but she's angry and she's hurt and she still remembers the confused look on her brother's face when she'd practically dragged him away before confronting the offending party. ]
