"Itzy!" Annabelle called out, waving at Itzy from a distance.
Annabelle is the newest friend in Itzy's trio, alongside Hannah. Both Annabelle and Hannah were victims of bullying. They came together from different sections, forming their friendship based on their shared experiences. Itzy is cautious about making new friends, avoiding those who previously bullied her and pretended not to be involved with Loxley's group before.
Itzy rushed over to Anna with a broad smile. "Have you been here since earlier?"
Anna nodded. "Yeah. You took so long, I thought you were coming tomorrow."
Playfully, Itzy tapped Anna's arm and chuckled. "You're so dramatic. Come on, let's go!"
While the two of them were walking down the hallway on campus, Itzy suddenly remembered something and stopped in her tracks, looking around. "Where's Hannah, by the way?" she asked, noticing that Hannah wasn't with them.
