Hours passed by with me enjoying the afternoon classes. I was expecting a few bullying here and there today but luckily, I didn't experience any. The textbooks under my desk were all there, neat and tidy. Marie was also there, much earlier than I was. She was probably one of those people who could eat fast.

Then, I went to the comfort room after the second afternoon class and expected to hear some gossip or like those scenes in dramas where someone suddenly splashes water on me or something along those lines, but none of them happened. I was even prepared with spare clothes in my bag. Instead, I saw Marie wiping some spilled water on the bathroom floor with a mop. She probably spilled some when she washed her hands.
