"I dunno..." Rachel shrugged, unsure of herself. "Won't it look... suspicious, if I leave now?"
"No," said Zoe. "They don't know you know. You'll just be going to stay with a friend during the last of exams. A friend who has studied with you before, who has helped you pass so far. I'm totally the best cover story. Absolutely believable."
"I guess," Rachel bit her lips together. "I don't know what I'm supposed to do."
"Well, stay with me and we can work it out," Zoe said, as if the path ahead was straight and clear. Maybe to Zoe it was, but Rachel could see it overgrowing as they spoke. There were so many hidden vines and pitfalls, so many places to trip and fall. But maybe if she stayed with Zoe, the path would stay clear. There weren't many obstacles that could stand in the way of Zoe, were there?
"Okay," she agreed, feeling just the slightest hint of relief as she said it. "Okay, I'll come with you."
