(Still in Venice's point of view...)
"Hi, kids! By the way, you have another classmate with us for the whole year from the Ph********s. She's a foreigner and just arrived from her country, so let's all be kind in our interactions with her and befriend her.. Is that okay with everyone?" the teacher said to her fellow young students.
"Yes ma'am!" replied by her peers enthusiastically.
She then noticed their curious looks directed at her, causing her to shyly hide behind her maid since she wasn't accustomed to so much attention.
"Come here, baby girl, and introduce yourself in front of everyone. Don't worry, they are all friendly," her teacher kindly said, easing her grip on the edge of her maid's dress.
"Venice, they're requesting you to introduce yourself," her maid gently conveyed, loosening her grasp on her dress. Then her maid looked at her teacher.
