Yes, I know about that. I want to roll my eyes, but it probably wouldn't do much. I hear her clicking her tongue.
"Sorry, Clarissa. I just... felt it might be more convenient that way."
How is paying Kelsi to report to her more convenient than asking me directly? Is it because she can't be bothered to call? But if she texts Kelsi she should be able to text me also, right? I sigh. I just don't understand how she thinks sometimes.
"Well, don't do it anymore," I say. "I really don't like it."
"I understand. I won't."
I nod. I guess this is it for tonight's awkward sisterly conversation... I try to think of something more to say, but I don't think I can ask her how her work is going or something like that. I really don't know much about my older sister... How do you work on that?
"Did you find anything new?" she suddenly asks, taking me by surprise.
"Oh, uh... yeah, a bit. I mean, I found a picture of my mother and a book that probably belonged to her. I... I also met someone, who is like... a distant relative. On my mom's side, I mean."
"Really?"
I'm a bit shy, but I decided to detail a bit of my findings to Amy. I feel like she's making an effort by asking and acting genuinely interested, so I just let her know how it is going so far. Of course, I spare her all the details about me hanging out with werewolves, the whole witchery situation, and the fact that I almost died a couple more times this week... I just make it look like the research has been rather easy and simple, like a trip to the library and a bit of luck.
"It sounds like you've been busy," she says.
I almost grimace. Oh, Moon Goddess, she has no idea...
"Hm, yeah. I do hope to find more soon, though..."
"Clarissa, what about university?"
I'm so surprised, I stay mute for a few seconds. What about university now? Who cares about university?
"Uh..."
"You went to Silver City to study also. At least, that's what you had told me. Are you going to your classes?"
I'm almost sweating, and I'm cringing. Who cares about university?! Clarissa was the one who made up that lie so why do I have to answer for that now? I have no idea if I've missed classes! Did Kelsi miss hers to be with me too? What do I tell Amy now?
"I'm... considering changing majors."
Awesome, Clarissa.
"Why?"
"W-well, with my amnesia, I just... I guess my tastes have changed a bit, I don't think I like what I'm doing anymore."
"...What are you going to do, then?"
I have no idea; why do I have to worry about properly going to a university now?! I look around, looking for some kind of answer but I have no idea!
"I... I'm still thinking."
"I see. Well, let me know once you've decided. You should see if you can save your credits for the end of the semester, at least. It might be useful later."
"O-okay..."
I glance toward Kelsi's room hoping she'll help me figure this out in the morning. University, seriously? As if I could afford to add that to the long list of things I need to take care of!
"Alright then. It's... almost 6:00 in the morning here, I have to get ready."
"Oh, okay," I say, relieved she's not pushing this further. "I... Is it okay if I call you back later? I mean this week?"
