Susan was stunned by the rough behavior coming from someone so nice like Emerald. The best thing to do was get out of her way and that’s what she did. She walked up to the cafeteria and found a place beside Julia. Julia looked up from her book and stared at Susan. “Hi”, Suzie greeted her. “Well, what do you want?”, Julia asked.
“Em, I, I was just wondering if I could sit here and talk to you”, Susan tried to smile.
“ Your already sitting here and I have no problem with it and since we started why don’t we keep talking”, she said and they both started laughing.
“I’m Susan and if I remember from our last activity your Julia”, she introduced herself.
“ It’s me, nice to meet you… Wait your parents own a zoo, I went there once”, she exclaimed.
“ Yeah but it’s no big deal, all they do is breed endangered animals and stuff. They are really into helping the environment and I think I got that after them. My mum was a professor and my dad is a vet, they are brilliant together but to be honest they are so busy saving the world they barely notice me.” She explained.
“I guess we aren’t so different and I totally understand you, my mum is a professor too and my dad was a forest ranger. When they got into cryptozoology they went to travel the world looking for monsters and forgot I existed.” Julia compared herself to her new found friend.
“Isn’t it impossible, you know stuff like big foot or Nessie”, Susan asked.
“Well not really, it’s…”, but before she could explain Primrose came into the cafeteria and called for Julia.
“Got to go bye, I knew this would happen when I said my parents were monster hunters. Anna is expecting me but if you want to find out more hide in the bush beside the hut and listen to the conversation it might explain a lot.”
She followed the art teacher and left. Curiosity killed the cat Susan kept repeating to herself. Even though she knew it was a bad thing to do she followed them quietly. Minding her step and when she saw the wooden hut she crept along the trees and hid in an overgrown bush near the open window.
