"My name is Gorgo and… I would like to participate in the upcoming school festival."
Gorgo said with a soft tone, while she sat beside Leo... who, for his own reasons, was obviously ignoring her.
In fact, he tilted his head away so hard it almost looked like his neck might snap, as if pretending the wall was suddenly more attractive than any girl within a few-inch radius.
Valra frowned slightly as she looked at Gorgo with narrowed, suspicious eyes. Her voice carried that slight edge only girlfriends had mastered.
"I haven't seen you before…"
It wasn't like Valra knew every single student in the school... she wasn't the class president or a walking attendance sheet—but still, this girl felt out of place.
She was… well, kind of beautiful.
Not as much as Valra herself, obviously, but still pretty enough to make boys' heads spin like they'd just spotted free food in the cafeteria. The kind of beauty that made whispers run through the halls like wildfire.
