Bab 31: Pre-training

Zinnia caught up to Lyra and blurted out, "My brother and his friends always say I'm not like other girls. Are all of them supposed to be this much trouble?"

Lyra shook her head, replying, "Not really. Jealousy and rivalry aren't just a girl thing."

Lyra was more interested in what people did rather than who they were. She judged others by their actions, believing that stereotyping groups often led to misunderstandings about individuals.

"Everyone's got their own thing going on, like us. We're both girls, but we're different," she continued.

Zinnia nodded, adding with a grin, "Exactly! I mean, I've got curves and I'm pretty confident about it." She puffed out her chest playfully, catching the eyes of some passing boys and bursting into laughter at their reactions.

Lyra just smiled at Zinnia's playful side.

When Zinnia saw Lyra grabbing their shared hoverboard, she was confused, "Aren't we heading back to the dorm?"
