I look away awkwardly and turn around to leave and walk to my next class so I won't be late.
"See you later, Nelle," I give her a small smile and she returns another bright one to me and waves her hand elegantly in goodbye.
I wonder if it's hard work to be that poised all the time. I look down at my casual jeans and Aerosmith band t-shirt and think to myself that it probably would be for me, anyway.
My next class is another new one, Applied Aptitude, and is located on the west end of campus and probably the farthest point from me right now. I pick up my pace, jogging through the ethereal stone hallways and exit into the courtyard.
Almost to class, I hear my name called and turn around to see Teo waving her hand at me and motioning for me to let her catch up.
