"Star?" I forced a smile, looking at her, but not looking at her.

"Oh, my Goddess, Brys! You need to hurry!" She took my hand in hers and started running towards the general hall.

"What is it, Star? Are you okay? Why are you dragging me back to class?" I tried to stop her, but she kept on dragging me until we got to the door. She let me go and stood next to me.

Unlike them, I joined the Academy late, which was why I didn't spend years here. I only spent months here.
