"Is walking like this considered intimate?" Tony questioned in her mind. They were walking while holding hands.

And for Todd, since he was a celebrity at school, he maintained his image while waving his hands greeting all the other students.

Although Todd wanted to stay with her, he still had to go to his own class. So they parted ways there.

"You over there, stop. Why are you wearing headphones? That's very rude. Don't you think you need to pay attention?" Tony turned to find a young dude of around her age. He had black eyes and his figure was almost equal to that of Todd, not that she cared about that. What she cared about was the tag on his uniform.

She had seen the same type of tag on Todd's uniform. He had said that it was for the school representatives and judging from his age, he must be the representative of year twos.

"Even though am putting on headphones, don't worry I can still hear you fine" said Tony casually. She had gotten used to this situation. And even though most people thought she was vibing on music, they were just noise cancelling headphones.

"still, it's rude." said the guy, standing akimbo.

"Well, it's for health reasons." said Tony presenting a healthy certificate to him.

Her parents had prepared the certificate for her in such cases which always came in handy.

After looking at the certificate, he was shocked, not because of the certificate but because of the name on it. "You're Tony, as in Tony_Todd's sister?

"yes"

He stared at her attentively from head to toe but didn't see anything special about her.

"Are you sure you are his younger sister?"

He was bewildered because he also came to this school because of Todd. He tried to find anything special from her but didn't find anything. But since she was his idol's sister, he decided to be a bit nicer.

"Am Keith, nice to meet you." He introduced himself.

"Nice to meet you too." she replied but felt the name kind of familiar.

"let me escort you to the classroom."

"No need, I can take myself."

Keith was surprised that she was indifferent to him. He was one of those guys that were a bit self aware, 'actually not a bit'. He knew he was so handsome and irresistible, so this girl was supposed to be excited having him around. But she wasn't even a tiny bit. unfortunately, Tony had no such thoughts, she would just let everything flow naturally and see whether they would be friends or if not.

"Well, am off to class. See you in a bit."

The class was full of students. it took a while before Tony found an empty seat as the class was filled with students.

she finally found an empty seat in a corner besides a chocolate skinned girl. Tony didn't know why but she sensed a kind of hostility from the girl but just shrugged it off.

"is that seat taken?"

"Suit yourself". said the girl.

"Thank you." nodded Tony and then sat.

"What's your name and rank?" asked the chocolate skinned girl.

She then realized that she hadn't introduced herself yet. "Oh, that's so rude of me. My name is Grace and am a rank B student.

Tony was surprised. Earlier on she had thought that this girl had a sense of hostility but it wore off soon. Her opinion for her rose since she noticed that Grace was kind of easy going.

"Rank D, Tony"

"Okay, by the way, why do you wear headphones." Even though she was a carefree person, she was sharp and noticed something off with the headphones.

"those aren't for music, are they?"

"Noise cancelling headphones, just for health stuff."

"Ooh, you pique my interest, let's be friends."
