At the end of the session, while Elsie took her sweet time packing her things, Ruth hurriedly stuffed her things in the bag and slung them on her shoulder. She avoided looking at Elsie and Miss Chang as she tried to get out of there as quickly as possible.
"Miss Moore!"
Ruth clenched her eyes shut as this was the last thing she wanted then.
"I would like to have a word with you."
Ruth slowly turned around to face Miss Chang, but she kept her gaze everywhere but her face.
Elsie packed her things and left, not before mouthing- 'Good luck!' to Ruth.
Minutes passed by, and none of them said a word. Ruth kept avoiding Miss Chang's gaze while it was trained only on her.
"You should have told me." Miss Chang finally broke the silence.
"What?" Ruth did not know why she was trying to play dumb. When she used her powers, she was sure of facing the consequences.
But now that she was calmed and in all her senses, that idea seemed foolish to her.
