got the school going up//sujay&fortuna
Arriving had been the more difficult part, as Fortuna had never really travelled anywhere. She was surprised at how easy it was after that, after one abandoned their upbringing and morals in order to survive. Life with Alex hadn’t been terrible, but Fortuna was a very timid soul and stealing while invisible wasn’t exactly the best thing for her conscience. But, this was neither here nor there. This was only one thought of many that ran through her head as she was made to approach the daunting office of the already terrifying school environment.
There was a very beautiful aspect to it, but as Fortuna had known all her life, that usually meant that there were things to hide. She looked down at her hands and saw them disappearing and reappearing again and again, something that often happened when she was anxious. Breathe, she told herself, her hand rising to twirl and pull at a lock of hair. Breathe and enter.
But, she couldn’t. Fortuna couldn’t move and felt as if she couldn’t breathe, so she just stood. Her hand shook and her skin began to fade away into nothing as the invisibility took over her body in her anxious state. “No, no, please no,” she whispered softly to herself, backing up and sitting at one of the couches outside of the office. “Come back,” she murmured, pulling at her skin, her eyes beginning to water in panic.
