Limping my way down the hallway, my mind travelled back on Courtney's earlier word. Why had she referred to Ms. Sophie as auntie? Did Ms. Sophie know about her and Mr rude's relationship or was there more it? Ms. Sophie literally said don't call me auntie on the school grounds meaning Courtney can refer to her as that away from school. For Ms. Sophie to say that, it means they have a close relationship outside school. Hold on! Does that mean Ms. Sophie practically see Courtney as her daughter-in-law.
Up ahead, I saw Mr rude and Courtney talking. From Courtney's body language I guess she must be complaining to him about the punishment. Urgh! He sure would get angry that I landed his girlfriend into an entangled mess. I sidled away from their view and decided to wait it out until they left. I got no time for another melodrama.
