第二章 普雷斯顿学院(上)——翻译:风晓星落(8)
“ Alicia, you’re a top mark student who hasn’t missed a day of class at all. You’re the person I would least suspect of getting into trouble. Look the headmistress just wants to talk that’s it but before you go to her, please tuck in that shirt.”
“ Yes sir” I took the slip, tucked in my shirt and immediately headed off to the headmistress’s office. I’m guessing it was the “ are you okay speech” that she was going to give me. Honestly I’m not okay but that doesn’t mean it’s her business knowing my mental state. I immediately entered the room and handed the slip to the secretary. She told me to take a seat in Dr. Sarcov’s office. I sat down waiting for her and when she arrived I could feel this weight in the room. Dr. Sarcov had a presence to her. She was a 33 year old African American from Brown University. She was everything that a woman wanted to be: smart, independent, and emanating power. It’s part of the reason why my father dated her. He had a thing for tough women and Dr. Sarcov was no exception. You couldn’t lie to this women or even bend the truth slightly. In her presence, everything was in absolutes and the same can be said for me. She sat down and gave me a solemn expression. I could feel myself being opened up like a book and her eyes were just reading every page.
