The room fell into an eerie silence as Sora uttered the word "friend" out of her mouth.
Even Theodore and the teachers seemed to be quite shaken, actually, wondering what the hell was happening for THE Sora, THE 'Untouchable Rose' to be comfortable enough with Stark to be able to shake his hands without her body being disgusted/backing away.
And more than that, she called him a "friend"! Meaning that they met before.
But then, why would Stark jokingly say "nice to meet you" before?!
People were wondering what was happening, but no answers came as Stark began to go back to his square, his sole goal being to show Sora that he was here.
'Looks like she told us her real name in the trial though…'
"Well, anyway," Theodore coughed and got ready to ease up the atmosphere as soon as Stark returned to his place, the boy ignoring the angry and judgmental gaze from Lana, "As for the last thing you have all been wondering: how the teams will be made!"
