"Of course not... because I was with you that night..." she said in a half whispered voice, the teacher in front of the classroom beginning the lecture formally by turning and saying hi to the students once more, finally back from break. He begun to introduce himself, the course material, and what was expected of them, writing down break downs of marks in a tiny chalk scrawl on one of the three black boards that adorned the back wall. Hailey pulled out her notebook, turning it to the first page, and begun to copy the notes, her mind drifting to that night.
She remember the phone call, almost a year ago, back when they both first had entered their respective programs. Laura had exchanged phone numbers with her earlier in the day, the teacher having divided the class into different groups to begin their first assignment. It was only half way through the second week, half way through the day, when she had received the call, the girl screaming frantically as she was attacked by the Ratatas.
She remembers rushing over from her home, before she lived at the school, before becoming room mates. She remembered beating the ratata's and throwing them into the bush from the second floor window. Then the crying, the cleaning of her new found friend helping her scratched up form from her clothes, cleaning her cuts, and dressing them... and the moments afterwards.
She shifted in her chair, squirming, rubbing her thighs from side to side one against the other, the jeans rubbing at the insides of her thighs as she tried to beat back the memory of that first night. Everything started there, becoming enrolled in a better program, moving into the school, their friendship.
