"Why did you return late? Got into any more trouble after doing your punishment?" Courtney snarkily asked the minute after the door shut, marking Emma's return. She was sprawled across one of the living room's sofas, her phone in one hand, and her diamond-encrusted cup with god-knows-what in the other.
"I was...studying, and I completely forgot about curfew," Emma replied, not wanting Courtney to find out she was hanging out with James till this late at night.
"As if," Courtney said as she rolled her eyes in disbelief.
Winnie was nowhere to be seen, and while Courtney's behaviour was more than enough to anger Emma, she was more curious about Winnie's whereabouts.
"Where's Winnie? Sent her to do your bidding or your errands that you couldn't muster up the energy to do?" Emma asked mockingly.
Courtney let out a sound of discontent, her nose faced upwards as a sign of superiority.
