Things...like fish? People? She couldn't remember.

"You got detention already?" Mamie was surprised. She had lost her wand for a week, but no detention yet. "From-from that first Defense class or did you do something bad?" Did Mamie want to be friends with a troublemaker? Probably. She at least wouldn't hold it against Ashley.

"Yeah but like, there are no waves. And yes, there are merpeople in there I think. The lake is over there though." She pointed in the opposite direction. "Well, the only thing I did was I had two sacks but I didn't send anyone to detention. Which is really a good thing, but the headmaster likes to believe that everyone else should be as selfish as he is." She laughed darkly and threw a rock far, far away. She could care less about what the headmaster thought. "Defense class is dumb. So many punishments going on. Getting your wand confiscated, getting detention, getting essays, getting set on fire... sometimes in combination." She grinned. "But I refuse to get upset or change to be more selfish, because then I would lose. So I've decided to be as selfless and kind as possible," she paused. "Even more so than usual, because Trent hates when people do that. Which is why Nemesis Upstead is his favorite student, in case you haven't noticed yet." Deep down, Ashley was very angry, but she was a bit of a pro at remaining calm and squashing her feelings down, and she hardly even noticed when she did it. But she did notice. She scowled and threw another rock. "YoU KNow whAT TheY REALLY need? AN OCEAN!" Oceans made everything better. Fact. Because the water was so angry, and rough, and unpredictable, and she could use it as an outlet. She took a deep breath and smiled again. SUBJECT CHANGE ALERT. "Surfing is fun."
