Chapter 24: After Class

Their eyes lit up. "Can we be your friends?"

"Of course." I smiled at them.

I had never imagined that I would be able to make friends so quickly. I had always been the most unpopular person in the class. Although I had some friends, the relationship was more like that of a protector and a protected person. I was thrilled to have their help, but this kind of relationship always made me feel I lacked a little reciprocity between friends. I was always protected and the receiver.

My new friends were very interested in me and asked me many questions.

"Who is the Queen to you? You two look quite alike."

"Where do you usually live? The Imperial Palace?"

"Do you have a mate?"

In the face of such violent enthusiasm, I was at a loss. Fortunately, Miss Horace walked into the classroom and saved me.

"Alright, it's time for class. I hope you can still focus on the class."
