It has been two weeks since that encounter with Edmond. As she walked towards the locker area, she saw a familiar person standing beside her locker. It was Val and she was waiting for her.
Val saw her. Amy hesitated to make another step as she was not ready to face her yet. They were never formally introduced and have never been connected before in any way.
The scene was awkward but Amy thought it will be more embarrassing if she tried to avoid her.
Upon reaching her locker, Val spoke in a very soft tone:
"Hi. I'm Val."
Amy looked at her and said: "I know."
Val said: "Do you have a minute? Can we talk?"
Amy became confused. She was not able to respond right away.
What could she possibly wanted to talk to her about? For sure, it's about Edmond but she reminded herself that she had nothing to do with him anymore and whatever they had, it was all over.
Nervously, she responded: "SSssure."
