Silence began to envelop the fashion dept classroom back after the jet black haired girl uttered the words, which caused her to feel somewhat awkward by it before she decided to open her mouth once again.
"So…when I'm outside, sometimes, I keep my hood up so that I'm not attracting too much attention." Eztia said in a soft tone before she whirled her head to look at the teacher, who was also silent, with the same grin as from previous. "May I ask where I will sit, sir?"
"O-Oh, y-you will take the empty seat beside Jay Hong. The blond haired boy at the back."
Thanking the teacher as she bowed, Eztia proceeded to her seat and she could sense the stares from all of the people in the room she was getting were following her in advance of the time she began to sit comfortably and waited for either the lesson to begin or someone to break the silence.
After a minute or two, the teacher cleared his throat. "I think… I will give you some free time to get acquainted with our new transfer student. And please keep quiet while I'm not here." He said as he exited the room.
Not even a second had passed, in an immediate way, Eztia was swarmed by several people, who began to bombard her with many questions, which made her eyes widen slightly and blink them twice. Even though she was feeling a bit overwhelmed because of the sudden people somewhat surrounding her, she attempted to answer them one by one, unconsciously letting her lips pull up into a small awkward grin, but then she realized something.
From the corner of her eye, the covered eyed seatmate of hers might have been also uncomfortable since she had caught him shifting slightly and seeming to want to move to the edge of his seat. The girl figured that it was because of people around her desk and knowing about that, she was about to part her mouth when a familiar voice spoke up from her side.
"Hey, you guys. Can't you see that you're making her uncomfortable?"
Daniel had been watching the girl's interaction with the peers, which he could not help but frown slightly at, and once he noticed the awkward grin on her face earlier, he did not hesitate to voice out his thoughts.
Because of that, they were gradually quiet down, and Eztia looked at the disguised boy with eyes broadening in advance of the time she turned her attention back to the people.
"I'm sorry, but he's quite right. So… if all of you don't mind, can you please not, um, crowd me like now? I feel a bit suffocated here and I would appreciate it if you go back to your seats." Eztia said nervously, smiling. "I'm sorry if I made you upset, but I will try to talk to you guys later, okay?"
Seeing the girl have given them a smile that appeared apologetic to them, it was really obvious that it was impossible for them to be upset or mad at her. In addition, especially as they heard her apologizing so sincerely to them, they would never be.
"Oh, it's all right, Eztia! You didn't make us upset at all. Right, guys?"
"Yes, we're not upset at all."
"Yeah, absolutely not."
"Um, Eztia? I'm sorry for doubting and shouting at you earlier."
"Me too. We're sorry."
Eztia blinked at them in surprise before her smile stretched more, and she waved her hand at them in a reassuring way; she thought they must have had a reason why they were shouting at her a few minutes ago, so she did not feel any negative emotion at all towards them.
