Chapter 34

       Bethel's Pov:

I walked into the classroom with the Shirley girl and as usual, Nicole was already waiting for me on my seat.

"Hey B" she waved at me as I got to where she was.

"Hi" I replied weakly and took my seat.

Shirley stood and stared at both of us and that was when I understood she needed a place to sit.

"Oh! Sorry, but there's no vacant seat around here" I told her and she nods.

"Alright then. I'll just take a vacant seat from the back" she replied and went to the back.

"Okay; and who's that?" Nicole asked as soon as she left.

"She's just a newbie who lost her way to class" I replied and stared at the floor.

"Are you alright? You look kind of..."

"I'm fine" I cut her off with a sigh.

"O...kay. Although, you don't look fine to me".

We remained quiet for a while
