I shake her hand and stay silent for a bit analyzing her.
Long white socks that stop under her knees, pink dress with flowers on it and a green salopette-kind-of-thing on top, red shoes with no heels. I wonder where she is from?
I feel someone hit my back very softly, did I have to introduce myself?
"I... I'm Julia."
When I realize we were shaking hands for a pretty long time, I let go immediately and directed her to my left, towards the cafeteria.
This is going to be a long day.

"So, because this is a big school, we have a lot of spare classrooms, and that's why they created several clubs-"
"Oh really? What type of clubs?"
Miss. Redcheeks is a veeeery curious and bubbly person. She looks like the type of person that is able to talk herself out of any situation. On the other hand she looks too much of a goody-two-shoes though.
