She began darting around, moving to avoid accidentally spotting anyone. She finally got to the side door, the least public of the exits, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when a voice asked, "What are you doing here?"
She whirled around and saw Miss Robertson. Kelly Robertson was one of the youngest teachers at the school, and had just begun her teaching career. She was only in her mid-20s, having just finished college, and it showed. She walked out of her building wearing a tight, dark blue skirt suit. It was somewhat conservative, but hugged her young, trim figure rather tightly.
There was another woman with her, about the same age. Athena didn't know her, but her name was Lydia Warren, and she was Mikey's teacher. She and Kelly had both gone to the same college, and the two were going to go out after work.
Athena felt dizzy, leaning against a wall. She could sense herself at the center of the spell, like the eye of a hurricane, a change in local reality spreading out around her...and into her.
"What are you doing here?" Kelly Robertson repeated. "I thought we were going to meet you at the bar."
