"You seem very excited to stay at the hostel," Norman commented, watching me load some of my new stuff into the car to head to the academy for the weekdays. After I came home from the council meeting, I got a few calls from classmates who showed their support.

"Yeah, Jenny is coming today," I grinned, trying to open the back door of the car when Norman quietly opened the passenger side door for me.
I didn't argue and slid into the passenger seat. We argued a lot—like Tom and Jerry.
"And I'm so excited to see her," I babbled while he stood outside my door, fixing the seatbelt for me.
"She said she has some good news for me. I wonder what it is," I shrugged, getting comfortable as Norman handed me a water bottle.
