"Excellence High School is also good, it's considered one of the best high schools around McKinney, besides No. 1 Middle School. The principal there saw my grades and agreed to transfer me there, directly into their rocket class, which is also their best class in senior year..."
Wenny Taylor spoke rapidly, as if fearing the girl opposite her wouldn't be willing to listen, and she spilled out everything she wanted to say like a string of firecrackers.
"I just went to the school to handle the transfer procedures, and the paperwork is already done."
Nathalie Quinlan leaned back in her chair, propping her body up with one hand and half-closing her black eyes, not showing any intention of interrupting, quietly listening to what she had to say.
Seeing her like this, Wenny Taylor relaxed quite a bit, her tensioned shoulders slowly dropping as she said in a low voice, "I didn't say goodbye to Mr. Sullivan and my classmates; I only called you out here."
