Estella smiled lightly as she filled in the last question on her SAT prep paper. She'd breezed through the entire thing, and now she was bored. They had more than 10 minutes left until the bell rang. Fidgeting with her pen, Estella considered bothering Sam, who'd finished her paper a few minutes after her.
However, there had been a strange tension between the pair that Estella couldn't quite put her finger on.
Estella let out a sigh of relief as the bell rang, signaling the end of the session. Grabbing her belongings, she made a beeline for the door.
"Hey, Stella, wait up." The Waters girl turned around, spotting Sam, who made her way through the crowded hallway, heading toward her.
"Hey. How was the test?" Estella asked, trying to make small talk.
"Eh, it was alright."
The pair spent the rest of their walk discussing some of the questions. As they made their way down the hallway, Estella stopped speaking mid conversation.
Sam followed her line of sight, spotting Moon. The girls made brief eye contact before Moon looked away, but not before sending Estella a small, sad smile.
"The two of you still aren't talking?" Estella wrenched her gaze from Moon, turning her attention towards Sam.
"No, and I'm not going to until she apologizes. She's the one who decided to become a Yasmine clone."
Sam didn't say anything else, and the two spent the rest of their walk, in tense silence, with Estella leading the way. Estella approached the classroom she knew Demetri and Miguel had written their test in. She leaned against the lockers, Sam, at her side as they waited for the boys to exit the classroom.
Estella felt slightly uncomfortable standing there with Sam, as the two rarely spoke much anymore, having developed different interests. Being around Sam made Estella miss Moon, even though sge wouldn't admit it.
As Demetri and Miguel exited the classroom, Estella called out to them. "Hey, losers, wait up!"
Estella could hear Demetri complain heavily about some of the questions in the SAT prep paper, with Miguel telling him that the questions weren't that hard.
"The lies coming from you, Diaz! I already know you flunked that test," Estella teased.
Miguel rolled his eyes playfully at her, "In your dreams, Waters."
