Iris Hart walked into her classroom with a bright smile.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLJRRKJhZu
"Morning, everyone!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rQYj9LjfG
Several classmates greeted her back. She laughed as Naomi Reed rushed over and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

Evelyn Cross entered quietly, carrying a stack of books. Her uniform was perfectly neat, and she walked straight to the front-row seat by the window without saying a word.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIqLvT4LSZ
The room immediately became quieter.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTxGyiT9jF
Naomi leaned toward Iris and whispered, "There she is... Miss Perfect."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSbhj7AOH6
Iris glanced at Evelyn and sighed.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8ZAsPbucm
"Still as unfriendly as ever."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ8pTyZBuu
As if she had heard the comment, Evelyn briefly looked in Iris's direction before opening her notebook.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTCcNrMPCN
The teacher arrived a few minutes later.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7kjonAalF
"Good morning, everyone. Since it's a new semester, we'll be changing seats."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0UN4mNq0W
Groans filled the room.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO1iyL5rzt

"Iris Hart, you'll be sitting next to Evelyn Cross."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7ch7Xh4yd
Naomi covered her mouth to hide a laugh.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXAnsVJCbB
"Good luck surviving."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaVtRK3fOV
Iris picked up her bag and walked to her new seat.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB0pkx0zr2
She placed it on the desk and smiled politely.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsLwbu9YRP
"Looks like we're seatmates."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JyGOuWLQx
Evelyn simply nodded.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2RLkuOyDS
"I know."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8RJyXVfyB
The short reply made Iris roll her eyes.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVmjSS1HIL
"You could at least say hello."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoetd7bl7CB
"I already did."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThyRCttzxY
"You nodded."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JRCfF9uqW
"It means the same thing."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHWODHFG7m
Iris couldn't help but laugh.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H6yu78cpg
"You're impossible."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSTBDKOwvq
Without looking up from her notebook, Evelyn calmly replied,
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1QWQA493K
"So I've been told."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFnXXHTK17
The rest of the morning passed quietly.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqMBjiCzQN
During mathematics class, the teacher wrote a difficult problem on the board.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ynu9x9MQH
"Who would like to solve it?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtzaIs2FZZ
Before anyone could answer, both Iris and Evelyn raised their hands at the same time.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2cFqnh1CS
The class laughed.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFYleIce8d
The teacher smiled knowingly.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhaSTyrw9Z
"As expected."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bdiVbE1vr
Both students solved the question correctly, using different methods.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3y48QILc3
"Excellent work," the teacher praised. "Both answers are correct."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqNGtvATo2
As they returned to their seats, Iris looked at Evelyn.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz7vq0VCHi
"You really can't let me win once, can you?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFnet0ssRx
Evelyn closed her textbook.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDsmDHNVyo
"I could ask you the same question."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfUkD7Ji1f
For the first time that day, they shared a small smile before quickly looking away.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawxFSCBoCI
At lunch, Iris sat with Naomi under a large tree in the courtyard.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9Aagrq3mZ
Naomi noticed Iris glancing toward the student council building.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlddFk3RhEp
"Looking for your rival already?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw1HErpMb7
"I was just wondering if she ever smiles."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnyxj9Rm4a
Naomi laughed.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf8fsZYghn
"Maybe she forgot how."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDBdVunKKl
Iris smiled to herself.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgacpdxkAr
"...Maybe."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkpOX2fmv5
The afternoon classes ended peacefully.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag3jDV65O0
As students began packing their bags, Iris accidentally left one of her notebooks on the desk.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmurLfnq4Lw
She didn't notice and walked out with Naomi, chatting about their plans for the weekend.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GVGyXopd0
A few minutes later, Evelyn quietly picked up the forgotten notebook and placed it inside the teacher's office so it wouldn't be lost.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoflhsBXZXO
The next morning, the teacher returned it to Iris.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS23xsPE7S
"You forgot this yesterday. Luckily, someone found it."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs937Lmbrg
Iris smiled gratefully.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOn4XWO3DC
"I'm really glad it didn't disappear."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdX5NTyFKC
She never found out who had returned it.
