"Z!" Astherielle waved enthusiastically. She was actually jumping and down with excitement that she ran in the hallway, pushing through the crowd until she reached her friend by the lockers.
Beatrix was beside Zera, returning one of her books. She was clearly frustrated and immediately stopped Astherielle from squealing.
"Oh," the latter inched closer towards Zera and whispered. "What's up with her?"
Zera put a consoling arm around Beatrix before pulling her with her while she let Astherielle cling to her arms from the other side.
She gently maneuvered them to head to the cafeteria, Jaspreth following a few minutes late after Astherielle.
Zera opened her mouth to respond when the basketball team passed by, whistling appreciatively as they saw the trio.
