Cassian: chapter 11

I walk up to Nessie's house. I look at her window, or at least I assume is her window, and see a face peek at me. I realize it's Nessie. She quickly ducks, and moves away from the window. I knock on the door. A man- I assume it's her father- answers the door. "Can I help you young man?" He says, glaring at me. Clearly he doesn't like me being here. I glare right back and reply, "Yes. Can I see Nessie? I am supposed to help her with her homework." Nessie's  father folds his arms. "She's grounded. You'll have to help her later." I rise my eyebrows. "Huh, I didn't think that was the way being grounded worked." Nessie's father grits his teeth. "No, I suppose you're right. You may help Nessie, then leave right after. Understood?" I roll my eyes. "Yeah. Whatever." He shows me up to Nessie's room. Before I go in, his arm blocks  me. "Don't try anything funny. Or I'll..." I hold up my hands. "I'm just a friend. I promise not to do anything else, but help Nessie with her homework." It's stare down now. Finally, he gives up. "Good." He replies, before going back down stairs. I go into Nessie's room. I gag at the sight of her room. It's pale blue, with pictures of her family and friends all over her room. At least she has a desk. Nessie looks at me. "Why are you here?" She demands. I smrik. "To help you with your "homework" remember?" She smiles a little. "Oh, how could I have forgotten? I think I just need help with Elementalism." I half smile. I'm glad she's going along with the lie. And then we start.
