One of the other girls said "Okay Kiki enough of you hogging her. We also want to get to know the new student". Yeah yeah we also want to get acquainted" the others chirped.
"Fine, here you go. You can also get to know her. But remember Natasha, I'm your first friend in this school". "I'll remember" Natasha said smiling shyly.
"Hey, my name is Anna. This is Karina, that's Emi, she's Iris and that's her twin Isis". "Hello everyone. As you all know, my name is Natasha". A chorus of 'Hi' and 'Hello' sounded. Natasha felt a little overwhelmed before. But now she felt that this was actually nothing. All of them were really welcoming. The boys didn't say anything. The girls didn't give any snarky remark about her not having any friends before. Everyone was talking to her like she was a totally normal person even after she said she never had a hangout or watched movies with friends.
"Hey, you didn't finish telling us about your old school" said Isis. "Yeah, but it looks like we don't have time for that now. It's almost time for Mr. Lee to come" Anna said.
"Mr. Lee is one of those strict but fun teachers we have. He is fun to talk with and he is one of those persons who would give you the best life advice" said Kiki.
"We are going now but we will come again to talk with you Natasha. There is no need to be shy or afraid. We won't eat you up" said Anna. "Okay" Natasha said softly.
A man maybe as old as Natashas dad entered the room. He had a medium stature and a fit body. He didn't have muscles like Mr. Kim but he still looked nice.
"Ahem. You guys already know but I will tell you again. My name is Mark Lee. You guys can call me Mr. Lee. I will be friendly with you but there would be a limit to my friendliness. I do not tolerate indiscipline or rude behavior. You have to be on your best behavior in my class. We will study Literature".
" I see a new face in the class room. New girl, stand up and introduce yourself" said Mr. Lee. Natasha slowly stood up and said "My name is Natasha Holden and I went to X Girls High School in city T previously"
"X Girls High School? So you went to an only girls school?" "Yes, sir". "Okay sit down". Natasha sat down and Mr. Lee started the lecture.
Natasha started taking notes of what Mr. Lee was teaching. The whole class was going well. The students were asking questions if they were doubtful and Mr. Lee was answering them. Mr. Lee also asked questions to make sure all of them heard and understood what he said. The students' response made him happy and the fact was shown on his face and in his voice.
It was almost time for the class to end. Mr. Lee stopped teaching and said "that's all for today. Reread the parts I taught today and we will have a Q&A session on that in the next class. Natasha, I hope you like this school and get comfortable with having boys around you. They might be a little rowdy sometimes but they are as harmless as newborn pups". That made the girls giggle and the boys tried to make noise protesting him. But he paid them no attention and left the class room.
"Let's go, it's time for lunch. Let me take you to the cafeteria. The food here is nice. I don't know what kind of food you had in your old school but our school serves really good pasta and dumplings. You would love them" Kiki said pulling Natasha out of her seat and started pushing her out of the class room.
"Hey Kiki, slow down. You guys might trip" said Iris. The other girls nodded following behind them. Kiki slowed down and stopped pushing Natasha. But she held Natashas hand and excitedly kept talking about the cafeteria and the food, along with how good the cafeteria staff treats everyone.
"You know, I always thought vegetable dumplings would be bland but I tried them in our cafeteria and it's so good. But I never like them from outside. Even if they are from a five star restaurant. They never taste good to me. I have always wanted to know how they make them so good. But they never tell. Every time I ask them, they say it's the chefs secret and the chefs never tell their secret. huff" Kiki huffs like a child amusing Natasha.
