Favourite Things

[Will Wright]

"Come on Will, leave it alone." Jack's hand enclosed around hers and her heart went wild.
She looked at the firstie with disgust but turned and stalked to the other end of the common room with eyes on her back.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before releasing it again.
When she opened them Jack was standing beside her.
"Sorry bout that, I just lost my temper." she gave him an apologetic smile,"But who does he think he is?! Threatening people like that and thinking he can get away with it?"
She shook her head.
"Right, calm down," she laughed without humour.

She was right. It was really bloody disrespectful.
Though Jack still couldn't quite quench the feeling that they'd slightly deserved it.
"Mmm," was the best response he could muster, but it seemed satisfactory enough. Jack turned to look to the clock, and was unsurprised to see a half hour had already flew past. Olivia would be here soon.
Very, very soon.
"You okay?" he asked Will, after a couple more minutes had slid past. She seemed a little tense.

"No, I'm not," she admitted but she wasn't going to get into it.
She looked behind him too the wee boy who was now rubbing his wrists.
"Gimme a sec." she said and walked over to him, "Hey, I'm sorry bout that but you've got to learn not to be disrespectful. Here hold out your wrists,"
He feverisly held them out slowly. She put her hands over them and a golden glow formed. Within seconds he felt better.
"Thanks," he sighed.
"You're very welcome," she gave him a comforting smile.
"And...I'm sorry about trying to hit you and threaten you,"
"We're sorry for scaring you,"
She stood up and looked at the clock which is where she had seen Jack's eyes flicker too. She walked back over to him.
"You meeting Olivia here?" she asked quietly.
"Yes," he replied.
"Ok then...I'll...see you around, then?" she turned and walked to the girls dorm.
One thought on her one tracked mind.
