Chapitre 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.

"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."
