Kayla laughed at the boy's answer more surprised than anything. The sound bubbled right out of her as though it was natural; which it hadn't been for many years. When Will kicked the bottle any sound of happiness died in her throat. The few pills inside rattled as the bottle rolled across the floor. The boy had looked down then brushed it off as an inkwell. But Kayla was positive Will knew it was hers.
Tears sprang to her eyes though Kayla refused to spill them. Just a week before the full moon and one of her secrets had been unearthed by a stranger. Kayla kept her life carefully concealed and secret in hope of passing for someone normal and healthy. Now a kind hearted boy had brushed it of not knowing what he had done. Kayla wondered whether he would make some connection between the 'Wanderings with Werewolves' on the desk and the pills or even her tense nature. She was scared and hoped that this wouldn't tangle itself into a deeper mess.
Kayla swallowed stiffly and tried to control herself. She smiled weakly at the boy and took a breath. There was still a chance that he would only think her insane for taking muggle medication for anxiety. Maybe he could even be her friend. It was a strange thought but Kayla clung to it. He needn't know the danger in front of him. A new man had become Head of Department for Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures and Kayla wasn't registered. If someone found the blood on her hands she would surely be locked away. The Ministry worker had children at this school too. Maybe she could try to be open and nice if Will wasn't friends with the family.
Kayla unstuck her throat and asked quietly "Thanks for reading over it again. Are you friends with the Scarbores, Will?" She tried to seem calm about the change in subject. For some involuntary reason she kept on eyeing Lockhart's book warily as though it might spill all her secrets.
