245 Looks Can Be Deceiving

Hera completed her study-related tasks in a hurry. She was starving and couldn't wait to run into Mrs Roger's kitchen. Abby was sitting beside her, and they finished all their assignments, working together and helping each other. Hera was grateful for all the help her cousin lent. 

Abby had expressed her gratitude again and again for what Hera did to save her. But she could not stop blaming herself and feeling guilty when her conscience started taunting her from inside. She couldn't look Hera in the eye because of the shame and remorse she felt. Hera had smiled and brushed it off with a wave of her hand when Abby cried for being a coward and not protecting Hera. 

"Everything's going to be alright," Hera had said, consoling her cousin and stayed with her until her tears dried. To distract Abby from her guilty conscience, Hera decided to do homework together and had brought her books to Abby's room.
