You were a friend hers that is always with her. She often get lost because of how many time she spaces out sometime so you had to take care of her somehow. She appreciate you alot but doesn't say it outloud of course and you understand that

"I hate school."

She said while leaning onto you. She was like a child that needed to be taken care of. She is indeed very independent but when it comes to you she feels like she always need to ask for your help

"I wanna go home already."
