Vanessa
The first day of school came too quickly. Mother managed to keep me busy all week long, dragging me to piano lessons, Pilates, and back-to-school shopping. I hardly had any time to spend with Ava, but last night we managed to talk about our schedules.
“We have no classes together,” I said, disappointed, as I compared the two pieces of paper. “You’re taking AP Calculus?” I glanced up at Ava in disbelief while she played with a loose thread on my comforter.
“Yup,” she replied, like it wasn’t a big deal.
“That’s like...really advanced.”
“Yup.”
“I’m not even taking that.”
She glanced up at me with an amused look and a sly grin. “Are you insinuating that I’m dumber than you?”
“No! Of course not, it’s just...you have to test into that course and the exam is really hard.”
Oh, jeez, like that was even better. Insert foot in mouth. I should have stopped while I was ahead.
Ava chuckled, amused. “Van, relax, I’ve always been good at math. I didn’t flunk eighth grade because I was stupid, you know.”
“Then why did you?”
“It’s getting late, we should get to bed.” Ava jumped off my bed and headed toward the bathroom.
“Oh, all right, good night then.”
Ava stopped suddenly in front of my dresser, slowly turning around.
“Should I be concerned that you may have developed a sadistic personality? Or do you just have something against glass people?”
“Huh?” What in God’s name is she talking about?
“You get off on mutilating innocent ballet dancers?” She was holding my broken figurine in her hands. I buried my face in a pillow, laughing hysterically once I put two and two together. “You have to stop running into shit, Vanessa, you’re really going to hurt yourself.” Ava had already guessed what happened to my poor ballerina.
As my laughter subsided, I was able to regain my voice. “I don’t know how it happens,” I admitted.
Ava’s freakishly expressive eyebrow rose while the other one slanted.
“Really, I don’t.” I held my arms up in surrender.
“Be extra careful.” She placed the figurine back on the dresser. Opening the bathroom door, she waved the back of her hand at me before saying goodnight and shutting it behind her.
Why did I get the feeling she was an expert at deflecting questions she didn’t want to answer? She’d flipped the entire conversation from her to me in a matter of seconds.
What a ninja.
