~ At the sound of his voice, she lifts her head, tilting it to meet his concerned gaze. The iris of her eyes seems to darken further ~ "I'm frightened, Larry..." ~ her voice falters further ~ "I did my best back there; I know it. My teachers wouldn't blame me..." ~
~ She takes another deep breath before continuing ~ "But this is unforgiveable! Here I am, behaving like a clown... has all their hard work been reduced to this?" ~ she shakes her head sadly ~ "Yet I felt so happy... I never felt so carefree in my life as that moment..."
~ Holding her head in her hands, the burden of her thoughts weigh her down and she kneels down, shivering ~
