(One week later, during lunch break)
We were all chatting and having fun, but suddenly Tanid seemed a bit quiet.
Me: Tanid, why are you so quiet, man? 😐Tanid: (speaking slowly) A girl showed up… a new one.Ayan: Whoa! Secret news! 🕵️♂️ Who is she?Tanid: I think her name is Ohona… No one really talks to her. She always sits alone… even in class, no one pays attention to her. 😔Safia: (with sympathy) Oh no… poor girl… 🙁Tanid: Today I saw her sitting alone in the canteen. No one sat near her. I don't think she even eats properly.
(Everyone goes quiet for a moment)
Virgil: (suddenly smirking) Ooooh… 🤭 Now I get it!Tanid: Get what? 🤨Virgil: You, bro! Looks like someone's falling in love… 😏💘Tanid: (angrily) No, man! I'm being serious here! 😤Justin: Honestly though—Tanid's voice has a different melody today 🎻😂Tanid: (laughs lightly) Shut up… Don't start with the love stuff. I just felt bad, that's all.Ayan: (laughing) Okay okay. So, what do we do? 😏Me: I think someone should talk to her.Safia: Yes! If she's all alone, we can't let her stay like that—we're the Pera-less family. 😌Tanid: I'll try tomorrow… maybe I can sit beside her. Even if we don't talk, at least I can say hi.Virgil: (teasing again) And what if she doesn't say "hi" back but goes "bye!" instead… 🤭Everyone bursts out laughing 😂🤣Tanid: (laughing) Man, you guys! Can't say anything seriously around you all.
