Heh, Sweet Kristen, I knew your facade. I will find a way to crack your mask.
Kristen had a sweet smile on her face as she walked into the class. Miss Wrighton was still preparing for class, so she let the students chat for a while.
Many of the students greeted Kristen as if she was a celebrity, and Kristen replied to them all with her smile. She sat on the only seat available, which was right beside me.
She ignored me at first, so I stared at her and then hunched my shoulder immediately, trying to imitate what Cerise must be in the middle school.
Not that I was any better either, I was also a scared little cat in the previous timeline. Hunching, looking down, lowering my voice, avoiding everyone.
It was just part of muscle memory.
Kristen noticed and glanced at me. She frowned for a moment before smiling in my direction, "Hi, are you new here? I have never seen you around."
"A-Ah, yes… I'm new here," I replied. "I just moved in three months ago…."
