Lacking

"Are you sure you'll go alone?" Andy asked. Why is he even asking? He wouldn't go with me either way. "Aren't you scared of Miss Valencia?" 

It's not like I have a choice. Ace had already left before I could even call her because of her part-time job, and Andy was going to attend the student council meeting. "I'll be fine. It's not like Miss Valencia will eat me." That's right, I've been on the brink of death for the past few days. Nothing will scare me more than that.

"Kaoru's coming with me too, so don't worry." Andy nodded as he went out of the classroom. I took my bag and told Kaoru to just follow me if he wanted to. 'I'm not forcing him on anything.' 

On our way to the faculty room, Kaoru kept looking around like a lost sheep and kept making things harder because he was distracting me. "Could you please just stay here? I'll come to you after I'm done." I told him as I entered the faculty room after. "Please excuse my intrusion."
