I stare out of the window instead of listening to Madame Pommier conjugate "devenir." Leaving the drapes open is a rookie mistake she's only making because she's new to the school. It won't be long before she learns to cover the windows or move the daydreamers to the opposite side of the room. 362Please respect copyright.PENANAGDK5X3m6tl

My eyes search the expansive lawns--still an unnaturally vibrant green, even in October--below, knowing he has to be there somewhere. Students with free period lounge on the grass, sunbathing, studying, or playing footie.362Please respect copyright.PENANAeye6jYlZo7

And there's Will, kneeling in front of rosebushes. Even from the second story, I can see he's so focused on the plants he doesn't notice the streaks of dirt on his white shirt. Someone who enjoys playing in the dirt so much shouldn't wear white shirts all the time.362Please respect copyright.PENANAFCQW6BQLLB

There isn't anyone with him today either. For someone so popular, he often seems to be absentminded and alone.362Please respect copyright.PENANAZUMfteBa8p

I rest my chin on the heel on my hand and watch him.362Please respect copyright.PENANALuj5M7OEbt

Someone cries out. I snap my head to the side. Lewis leans forward, color slipping out of his cheeks. He points a shaky finger toward the door.362Please respect copyright.PENANAuWmxAs0syQ

A few people glance at me, scandalized as if they don't use the term all the time. Lewis just nods. He stares at me in a way that makes it clear he's purposely keeping his gaze away from the door.362Please respect copyright.PENANAbi7JeppCtD

"Arrêtez," Madame Pommier says, slapping her ruler against the chalkboard we still use because this school is so ancient. "C'est assez."362Please respect copyright.PENANA9rk3CmJFKc

She returns to the lesson. I hold in a sigh and jot down: "Lewis Choi, 10:30 a.m." It's been more than two years, and I've yet to see a single one of the ghosts Wolverhampton House is famous for, but Roanna will murder me if I don't write down a sighting.362Please respect copyright.PENANAln4WJir0Io
