Melina shrugged as a shy smile crossed her lips. She tried to be as strong as possible by studying and practicing a lot. She didn't spend her free time outside of class doing much else.
"I need to practice that spell more," she replied. Her lack of control wouldn't do when it came time for the end of the year examinations. Senior exams were even harder than the other level's exams.
"Well, do it another time. Tonight, you're going to a party in the courtyard," Blair quipped with an excited smile as she squeezed Melina's arm.
Melina grimaced at the sound of that. She didn't fare well in class. How was she supposed to integrate herself at a party?
She already knew that she would be left alone at some point while Blair went off with her other friends.
She couldn't be upset with Blair about that, though. Blair had a life outside of her, and she didn't want to spoil Blair's night because she had trouble talking to strangers.
