As Lily walked to her seat, she gave a smile to Angelo, and inevitably, Kristopher as she sat behind him. She didn't even seem to notice that. She settled down in her seat, glancing about her. She always promised herself that she would approach someone, talk with them, but she never did. Still, now she was living on her own, friendship was appealing to her. There were only so many conversations you could have with a dog. She had her things out, ready for the lesson. Since she had started with being Green Deer, Lily had tried to incorporate some of the characteristics of her avatar to her every day life, but it didn't work out so well. 

Lily wasn't confident. She wasn't the life of the party, and she wasn't one to simply...be at ease with other people. she had thought on that long and hard, and had considered it the fact that her parents had died when she was young, delaying her entrance into school, and therefore making her one of the oldest students in her class. She always thought that people were judging her, that they would think, especially when she was a kid [i]oh, she failed kindergarden! What a dummy[/i] or something along those lines, and thus, she had closed herself off from people, not wanting to tell them the real reason why she was a year behind where she should be. 

[i]if they knew, would it make any difference?[/i] she thought to herself, hating the direction of her thoughts, but unable to stop herself. [i]At least I've proven I'm one of the smartest here[/i]. Although at the moment it was clear she wasn't paying attention as the class began, a somewhat distraught look on her face, as she stared without seeing at her books.
