SUFFOCATING

Lucas' POV

I watched as Tiana got up from the table and headed for the geography section.

"Ah, she's grown a lot", I heard Miss Elaine say beside me.

I glanced at her.

"Miss Elaine?", I called slowly and she turned to look at me.

"I was just wondering, did Tiana come here frequently?", I asked.

She studied me for a moment through my glasses as if trying to decide whether and deserved an answer. She soon smiled at me and pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose.

"Well not so frequently per say, just a handful of times. But she is easy to take note of. There weren't many others who came here that insisted on masks, you see.", she answered finally.

"She used to wear masks a lot then too?", I asked surprised and also yet very curious.

Miss Elaine nodded her head affirmatively.

"Her father too as well", she said and my ears perked up curiously at this information.

"She came with her dad?", I asked.
