The classes continued. Something about introductions and the Animal physiology.

Fiona focused on the topic, but not as much as Elliot who was busy listening or rather absorbing the information, his eyebrows furrowed in concentration.

As soon as the third class ended, Fiona sighed and got up from her seat, walking out of her seat before noticing how he wasn't budging at all.

“Not going for lunch?” Fiona asked, tilting her head slightly, one hand on her hips and the other on the table as she leaned.

“In a moment or two,” he replied, not glancing up at her.

Fiona looked around, before spotting a group of students approaching her desk.

She smiled and pushed herself off the table, making her way to the group. 

“Hi! My name is Fiona, What about you?” She beamed with excitement, looking at them all.

The group, consisting of three girls–one with twintails, second one with a scar beneath her chin that ran across her left cheek, and the third one with bright, sparkling eyes–each of them looked at her.

Finally, the silence was broken by the scar girl, “Nice to meet you Fiona. I’ve heard a lot about you. You’re.. Interesting.”

Her eyes roamed over Fiona’s face before she broke into  a grin. “Scarlett,” she said, “that’s my name.”

“My name is Julia!~ Pleasure to meet ya~” the girl with twintails said in a sing-song voice, a cute cat-like smile on her face.

The third girl hesitated and hid behind Scarlett, not looking at Fiona and even Fiona didn’t press on this.

“Don’t mind her, she is just shy~” Julia said in a sing song voice again, before clutching both of Fiona’s hands with a bright gleam, “Would you like to eat with us?~”
