As I turned around, I was met with the face of a familiar girl, the one whom I had copied not even a moment ago.
The one whose face vanished as I traveled back in time during my dance.
Her black hair, tied in a ponytail, bounced up and down behind her as she reached out her hand and asked.
"We're unofficially planning a dinner for the new club members. Are you free?"
"..."
Tilting her head, a smile appearing on her face, her onyx-black pupils locked onto my face, she continued.
"I'm Gemma, by the way, the captain of the team. Nice to meet you!"
Barely opening my mouth, I whispered, my throat sore.
"Athen."
"Hmm...Athen...Athen. A-then Ath-en. Athen!"
After repeating my name, but much louder, a couple of times, Gemma pointed at the teacher and other dance club member in the distance before saying.
"That's Professor Paskali, she's our club advisor! And behind her is the vice-captain, Katie."
