Eralia’s POV
I run into the school building, finding my siblings sitting in chairs beside the receptionist’s desk who looks up at me disapprovingly as I rush toward them both.
‘Oh guys! I’m so sorry’ I gasp, dropping down to my knees and pulling them both into a hug.
‘Where were you?’ Austin mumbles, ‘we got pulled out when the bell went and told we had to come here to wait.’
I nod, glancing over my shoulder at the woman who has returned to her computer.
‘Benny was a little late’ I whisper, ‘I’m so sorry guys, so is he, I hope you weren’t worried.’
Liberty shrugs, scraping the toe of her shoe across the carpeted floor as she fiddles with the strap of her bag that is hanging off her shoulder.
‘I thought maybe Mr Benny . . .’ Austin’s voice cuts off as I look at him.
‘What sweetie?’
