"O-oh um.. nice t-to see you, too!"
Julie stuttered. Her hands turns to fist.
'I have to be brave.. i have to socialize..'
"You're new too right?"
Athy asked.
Julie flinched a little, she was daydreaming awhile.
"Y-yea.. I'm really happy that I got accepted here.. it's a-a miracle!"
Julie smiled. When she smiles, her eyes shuts, it really make her look like she's very happy. She is also so cute when she smiles.
"Great! Me too! We just need to wait for this long line.."
Athy sighed and pointed the line.
It is very long. At least they needed to wait about 30 minutes to know their classes and dorms.
"S-say.. Athanasia.. are you a royal? Or a noble? A wizard? A commoner?"
Julie asked and looked at Athy.
"I think you're a royal, or noble. You're very pretty!"
"Oh.. I'm just a noble. I'm viscount Patterson's daughter"
Athy explained.
She then continues telling Julie about her and Anastacius activity daily. Her hand swings to everywhere when she explains the fun stuff. Julie seems to really enjoy it.
'Is this whats it's like to have friends?..'
Julie thought and smiled at Athy.

"Ewww.. don't talk to her! Julie will give you germs!"
A boy yelled and pointed at Julie who's layying in the ground, covered in mud.
"Let's run before the teacher notice!"
A girl yelled and pointed to the school's building.
'It's always like this..'
Julie cried.
She stands up and clean the mud off her head.
Her legs are covered in bruise from past weeks.
Few weeks later.
"Miss Punter! My daughter didn't do anything wrong! Yet your bratty childrens hurt her!"
Julie's mother yelled.
"Baroness Raelle, please calm down.."
The teacher panicked and tried to make the situation better.
Little Julie can only hear her mother yelling and banging the table.
"Baroness Raelle.."
The principal called, coldly.
"It wouldn't be a trouble.. if your daughter just left this school, and find a new one.."
The principal sighed.
"W-what?! You're asking me to send my daughter away?! DO YOU THINK IT'S EASY?! I'VE PAID ONE SEMESTER FOR HER!"
Julie's mother yelled.
•••
'Those lasting pain..'
Julie thought.
"Julie?.."
Athy called and wave her hand infront of her eyes.
"You okay?.. you need to sit?"
Julie flinched a bit again.
"N-no, I'm okay.."
She giggled a bit.
"Athanasia.."
Julie called. Her calm eyes starred warmly to Athy's crystal eyes, she starred deeply at Athy's eyes.
"I'm glad we're friends!"
She smiled and hugged Athy.
Athy's eyes widened.
"J-julie.."
She hugs Julie back.
"Heh?.. You guys are friends from little or something?"
