Between her classes, Astrid escaped to her usual daily getaway beside the school building. She eluded nearly everyone and always seized this opportunity to have a moments peace away from the cumbersome staff, the workload and their rules.
It was veritable time, perhaps the only time for her, during the school hours for a smoke break, after all. And, yeah, disregarding the smoke ban on campus.
Her cell phone vibrated within the purse dangling on her arm. Astrid sucked in a draw of her cig and leaned against the brick wall, digging out the phone and flipping it open. A text message.
Smiling lightly, she'd relay a few messages, her attention momentarily drawn from keeping an eye out for anyone unnecessary who might stumble in on her exclusive time.
