Never in her whole life had Stephie been so relieved to get up at six in the morning to get to school, because it meant finally getting out of the house. She was out on the street not ten minutes after she'd woken up- she'd wanted to dodge her family and any "For Gods sake don't start anything" comments on the way out.
There was still plenty of time before she even had to be there. Well, technically she didn't have an official starting time: it wasn't a job, just working off hours. She stopped at a bakery and had a steak and mushroom pie for breakfast, then skated round the longest was to Regents she could muster. She arrived on the grounds half an hour before school was scheduled to begin, and though she might as well have a wander around and see if anyone she knew was here yet.
And find out if Regents had a coffee machine. Dear god, she'd been a week without coffee, how was she still vertical? The idea had rooted itself firmly in her mind, so she had another purpose in mind, even if no one else did show up.
