Sophia didn't go back to school that day. She called her mother at noon, told her that she had something to deal with at school and would not be back for dinner. She didn't tell Kate about Kevin for fear that she would worry about him.
It was less than school time, and she didn't want to go home for fear of being asked by her mother.
After taking Kevin home, Albert went to the company to deal with something. Sophia cycled to Glinton University. With the pass Professor Thompson gave her, the doorman let her in.
She stood alone in the burned laboratory, thinking about what had happened this day.
If it hadn't been for Albert, she didn't know what would have happened. Thinking about that, she was still scared.
She wanted to get over her fear of fire. Even though she knew it was a psychological feeling, she was unable to think the moment she saw the flame.
