"Astrid! Help me, I'm in trouble now!"
"Calm down, honey. Don't come barging in like that—it'd be bad if someone else was here. Close the door first."
As soon as I heard what happened I wanted to meet Astrid, but the instructor's meeting had been extended, and most of the afternoon was self-study, making it impossible for me to come see her and tell her what happened.
Anxiety overwhelmed me and, to make matters worse, Cordelia stared at me (Phina) and Alice, with a face that looked as if she wanted to kill us.
I was lucky that it was self-study and when I found the opportunity, I was able to disappear again with Alice and Elena, really her gaze was so intense that everyone in the class noticed it.
I had no idea what Cordelia might do now, my impression of her is better than it was a few months ago and I have some understanding of her, but, still, I was really worried about what would happen now.
