She took a hesitant step forward, shyly glancing at the chatting class before going back to her. [color=dodgerblue]"I'm-"[/color] "-Alyssa, I know. Welcome to Delbrook Academy. You'll be sitting between Connor and Maria, in that empty seat there. Make sure that you aren't late again." She nodded, blue eyes wide, relieved that she was off the hook. She hoped that Dylan, too, would be so lucky. However, her stomach sank when she saw that she was right at the front of the class. Oh dear. At least this was only homeroom, right? She felt awkward, just about breaking into their conversation, but it had to be done. One hand in a fist at her side, she quietly took her seat amongst the others. Glancing at Maria, and then to Connor, she smiled lightly. Her heart beat in her chest like a runaway train. You could never tell if people liked you, if they were judging you, if they wanted to put you down. The least she could do was try to make a good impression.
