"It's Nina, right?"

A familiar voice pierced through my calm. Opening my eyes, I saw Lea, the woman from my last class, standing over me with a smirk. "Back for more?" she asked, tossing her sleek, long ponytail over her shoulder.

I straightened up, meeting her gaze. Enzo's words of encouragement echoed in my mind, reminding me of how it was best to be the bigger person and not let her high school attitude get to me.

"You ran off yesterday," she said suddenly, her thin lips curling upwards into a smirk. "Something wrong? Pull a muscle?"

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

She shrugged. "No, nothing's wrong at all," she said with a smile that was more plastic than teeth. "I've just never had morning sickness, so I can't really relate."

"Nope." She shook her head and continued to smirk at me. "It's funny, most people don't actually realize that morning sickness comes from a poor diet."

"Does it, now?"
