Back To School

A/N: Ok, another chapter, within a week of the last one! I'll try to keep up the pace. (And sorry for the shortness of it…)
Ch. 4 Lunch
Lucy sat at her table, all alone. Apparently, no one wanted to sit with her.
But Aslan is with me always, she thought happily.
She bowed her head. "Aslan, you have my thanks for this meal," she murmured.
Someone placed a hand on her shoulder. She turned to see Aunt Polly.
"Hello, dear. Do you mind if I join you?"
Lucy shook her head. "Not at all. Please, take a seat."
Polly smiled and did as she was bid.
This girl's manner is… like that of someone used to being in command. Someone who is used to being obeyed. Perhaps that of a queen. I wish I knew for sure if she was one of the four Digory mentioned.
The teacher smiled at her pupil again.
Perhaps I will know if I talk with her enough.
"How are you finding you classes?" she asked.
Lucy swallowed her potatoes. "Oh, they all seem rather easy, although they can be interesting. English was enjoyable."
Polly nodded. "What did you do in English?" she asked.
"Well, Professor Davis had us write a letter to a friend in another country. He was trying to decide how much we have forgotten from the last term."
"That sounds interesting. Who did you write to?"
Lucy pushed her empty plate away. "Well, I wrote to a good friend of mine. His name is Mr. Tumn-"
The bell rang suddenly, drowning out what the girl was saying. She jumped up.
"Bye Aunt Polly! I shall see you later!"
Polly watched the girl hurry away.
I was so close, she thought. Perhaps I can get my hands on that letter.
She stood and headed for the teachers' lounge.
I believe that letter will tell me everything I need to know.
A/N: So, what'd you think? I am going somewhere with this, but ideas on what I should do next would be welcome, and they may be used! Reviews are gobbled up like candy!
