Brigitte Pt. 2 - Shadows and Lights

The next day, the entire school was called for an assembly. Strict curfews were put in place with no explanation given to the students. Brigitte didn't really care. It wouldn't disrupt her sports schedule too much. Track and field would have to be shifted to a different time. Hopefully it wouldn't clash with swimming or gymnastics. The rest of the assembly was the usual. Uniform, make up, piercings, etcetera. The old headmistress wasn't a particularly pleasing person to look at, nor was she a particularly pleasing person at all, really. She had about as much power, the countenance of, and all the motherly instincts of a berserk rhinocerous. But who was the person with a hood over their face at the back of the stage? The question stuck with her as the girls filed out of the auditorium to go about their daily classes.
"What a slag," said Nadine as she stepped in beside Brigitte. The athletic girl was a member of the track and field club and boarded in the same dormitory as Brigitte. "Can you believe her, Brig? Getting up there and putting all these restrictions on us? Who does she think she is? The P.M.?"
"This way, you might be able to focus more on your studies than boys, though," Brigitte replied with a grin, in turn getting a sharp look from her friend. "Who do you think that person in the hood was, though? Did you see them?"
Nadine glanced at the other girl quizzically. "You going crazy, then? There weren't no one up there but Headmistress O'Leery." Brigitte frowned, but put it down to Nadine's mind being elsewhere. The two girls went their seperate ways, and outside the window, a shadow followed Brigitte.
