Message: <blockquote data-quote="Relique du Madde" data-source="post: 3712762" data-attributes="member: 42169">Miranda glanced down to her hands in shame.  Although she appeared to be visible, she knew otherwise.  She knew that to the world, or to those who relied solely on normal vision, Astrid appeared to be sitting alone.  Although this wasn't for the most ideal situation for Astrid, for Miranda, this was the best because it at least concealed her from shame of having the others see her fight back her tears. "I'm Sorry, I didn't mean too..." her voice wavered and shook. "It's just that..." She began to cry.She knew that those students who were close by could hear her crying; but as she glanced around she realized that everyone, save for a few, was either giving Astrid a concerned look or was beginning to amuse themselves at Astrid's expense.  The silent minority of the students in the class noticed the tears which seemed to materialize onto the counter top before joining Astrid's growing sphere. Unfortunately, Miranda knew that if she did not do something, those who did not know what really happened would have more fun at Astrid's expense. After class they would start a rumor that Calypso dropped some chemicals which nearly burnt down the lab before she put the fire out by crying.  Then when they see Astrid pass they would then spontaneously start to sing 'Cry me a river'.  Astrid did not deserve that kind of humiliation."I'm sorry... I truly am." Miranda closed her eyes,as she tried to focus her attention away from the tears that rolled of her cheek. She trembled, then after a few seconds, she could feel her body's weight being supported by both the stool she sat on, and the counter she propped her elbows against.  For a moment she felt comforted by the sensation.She took in a deep breath, then somberly glanced up at her lab partner."Please, forgive me.." She looked down for a moment before giving a boy who had been laughing since the test tube broke an evil eye, as a warning.</blockquote>
