"Alright, see you guys at school," she waved them goodbye.
"Bye," Alice waved back.
Janet turned to Rudy, but he only nodded in response. She shot a quick glance at Alice and gulped down, seemingly thinking of doing something. She seemed nervous, or rather conflicted, about what she was about to do next.
