And started humming with that while driving

After reached to the school she met with the principle

Then she took her to the classroom and priya introduced herself to the student

After finished taking the class when everyone was leaving the room priya was gathering all her belongings when she was about to leave her eyes fell on a boy who was still sitting there very quite he was looking through the window

Priya got curious she went to him and then sat next to him

She cleard her throat so that kid startled and looked at her
