''Claire, you can sit next to Le at the back.'' The teacher said pointing towards the empty seat next to Leo. ''Leo. Help her adjust.''
''No problem Ms. Smith.'' Leo said in his naturally jolly voice.
After Clare sat down next to him, he whispered to her, ''So you like basketball? Me too. Great. We will be the basketball desk mates.''
''Great. Let's have fun together then.'' Claire said smiling cutely.
During the recess.
''Hello. I'm Claire.'' Claire said she stood infront of Ivy.
Feeling that it was rather weird, Ivy didn't know how to react. It was indeed strange. Even Sam and Jake felt it. Afterall, Ivy isn't that drop dead gorgeous girl or a popular figure who socializes. Even her attitude clearly shouts 'stay away' very clearly. Ivy really isn't the type of person who would be greeted by a stranger, especially someone who clearly seems to be of the popular group.
''Uh... hi. I'm ivy.'' Ivy said with a small smile which actually couldn't cover her shock and awkwardness.
''Uh... Am I making you awkward? Actually I don't know anyone here and you seemed to be quite fun to be around with so I... I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable.'' Claire looked distressed as she quickly apologized and turned to walk away.
''No it's... I'm sorry I came out rude. It... I'm just not very used to it so...'' 'Especially in this form' Ivy left the later part unsaid as she quickly stopped Claire from walking away.
Ivy really felt like it was her fault. She shouldn't have made someone so uncomfortable when all the other person was trying to do was get to know her. But she really did find it weird. If it was before, she wouldn't have even batted an eye. But now, Uh... whatever.
''Anyway, you wanna hang out with us?'' Ivy added after some thought.
''Great. I would love to.'' Claire smiled brightly making her look extremely adorable.
''Alright then. Let me introduce them to you. She is Sam and he is Jake.''
''Hi.''
''Hey.''
Sam and Jake greeted as they were introduced.
''Hi, I'm-"
''Claire. I know.''
''Claire. I know.''
Sam and Jake said at the same time cutting off Claire's introduction making her seem a little uncomfortable.
''Don't worry. You'll get used to it. This is actually very common.'' Ivy said as she patted Claire's back.
''Ivy, they are still calling you fake. Crush them.'' Leo said as he shook his phone.
His voice made everyone check their phones and surely, the comment section under the post was very active.
When Ivy checked, there was already a new post which also had the previous post tagged.
