Hmm . . . the four families?

Sitting at the very last was also a bad move on my part since I was sure that all attention would be on me.

When Lina sat, I shot straight to my feet and stammered out my name.

"H-hello, my name is C-Cross."

I heard laughter and murmurs, and I was off to a great start. Mind the sarcasm. 

Way to go for making another impression after my blunder with the meat thing in the cafeteria yesterday night. 

"Do you have any aspirations, C-Cross?" Teacher Fey called out to me jokingly, and the others laughed even more, and I wanted to shrink from where I stood. 

Aspirations, huh . . . I couldn't say any if she asked me so suddenly.

But as everyone's focus was on me, I had to say something. 

"Eh . . . let me see . . . to get back on earth?"

. . .

. . .

Another heavy silence descended in the room, and I had to wonder if I had said something strange.
