After a minute or two, a teacher opened the door and welcomed Rachel in. She quietly thanked the teacher and looked around the room. She could see everyone is settled in and all eyes were on her. She suddenly felt embarrassed for showing up late. "Hi my name is Rachel, sorry for being late, I'll do better next time and I hope to get along with you all", she said to the whole class.

Rachel noticed an empty seat at the back of the room right beside a seemingly younger student with a long auburn hair who looked pretty shy and friendly. Rachel then decided to sit right by her. As she sat, she looked at her side and smiled at the girl.
