After Marzia walked into her English class, she spotted Felix sitting by himself in the back. She didn't necessarily fancy social interaction (especially with new people) but she decided to suck it up, just this once, and sit in the empty chair next to him. "Hey." She playfully winked. "Uh, hi." He blushed. "Why so nervous?" She flirtatiously asked. "I-I'm not-" He stuttered. "Hmmmm, okay." She murmured as she flipped open her notebook and clicked her pen.

"Um, why are you being so nice to me?" Felix asked. "What do you mean?" Marzia tilted her head. "I-I barely know you-" Felix stuttered. "Are you uncomfortable? I'm sorry-" She began to feel embarrassed. "No, not at all, I'm just a bit surprised." He reassured. "I'm sorry." She said with apologetic eyes. "No no, there's nothing for you to be sorry about, I'm just awkward." He laughed.

"You're not awkward! You're really kind!" She exclaimed. "I don't think so." He said. "Don't be so depreciating! You're a really nice guy." She genuinely smiled. "Okay." Felix sarcastically rolled his eyes. "It's true," She shrugged, "But I guess you have your own opinions and I have mine".

After class, Marzia decided to call Coral. "Hello?" Coral asked. "Hey, do you wanna skip 5th period and go to the asbestos bathroom?" Marzia asked. "Sure, I'll be there in a few." Coral said before she abruptly hung up. Marzia had a test to do, but she didn't exactly feel like doing it. She felt exhausted, and she wanted to talk to Coral about her interaction with Felix.

"Aww that's so cute," Coral gushed. "I know right! He's so adorable, I hope he doesn't start acting like an asshole just because every guy at this damn school is one." Marzia huffed. "Oh don't worry, he doesn't seem like the type to wanna fit in, you know what I mean? Like, he seems really different, in a good way." Coral explained. "Yeah, I understand what you mean. I just hope he doesn't lose himself." Marzia said.
