They finally entered the cafeteria. It was located on the ground floor of one of the many buildings that the Máville owned. The floor had large windows and seating arrangements for students and the staff of the university.
On her way, Lauren felt the eyes of people on her. She also saw students passing by turn to stare at her as if she were an alien who had just landed from Mars.
"Is it my imagination, or can you also sense some of the people looking at us?" whispered Lauren to Alara as they made their way to stand in one of the two queues like the rest of the people.
"Not us, but only you because you are new and also well known among students nowadays," she shrugged her shoulders as they walked past tables.
Lauren didn't understand what it meant by "well known," and Lauren didn't try to explain either. Was she referring to what happened in the parking lot? But that wasn't because no one knows what happened a week ago.
