There was a slight murmur spreading throughout the class with people giving her side glances and some even pointing at her. The awkwardness was high as the atmosphere around her became stifling. Adrianna became anxious. She took a deep breath and exhaled to exhale some of the anxiety out of her system. The place where she had chosen to sit had a vacant chair beside her. She looked at it while knowing that it wouldn't be possible for her to gain a single friend. All of a sudden, she remembered Niiya and Ookashi. Her heart longed to see them. She lowered her head and looked at her lap as she clasped her hands.
The professor entered the class and all the students rose to greet him. He looked at all of them and his eyes fell upon Adrianna. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Come and sit in the front."
