Sonya

Sonya turned her face to that group but she didn't even have a chance to look at them when the bell rang. She turned her face to her professor who just walked in. Sonya sank more into her seat and tried to avoid any sort of eye contact.

Sonya has a very strong eye contact. Not creepy, just strong. Whenever she made eye contact with anyone she made them look in her direction. She always tries to have normal eye contact with people but guess what? Yup, she is unable to. Not such a big surprise huh?

A woman walked in wearing jeans and a normal shirt, nothing fancy. Everyone in class took their seats and settled down.

/"Hello everyone, My name is Olivia Kristy and I'm going to teach world history to this class. Welcome to the first day of sophomore year. Most of you know me and ... hold on a second./" She scanned the whole class and stopped when she spotted Sonya. Then she scanned the rest of the class and again her eyes settled on Sonya.

She looked at Sonya. Sonya made eye contact with her professor and seemed to regret it instantly when her professor smiled at her. Her professor said /"Ah! We have only one new student. So what's your name dear?/" Sonya straightened her back and sat with confidence. /"My name is Sonya. Sonya Allison./" She replied with a straight voice.

/"Alright Sonya, where you're from and are you liking the school so far?/" Her professor asked. /"I'm from Australia and I just got here, so I can't really tell how it is at school./"

/"So far it seems (awful), good./" Sonya replied with a nod. /"This school is great, you're going to love it. Just try to make friends and try to enjoy it here./"

/"Just make friends? Hmm I can do that. Like I've been making friends throughout my life. For God's sake, isn't there a life without friends? Why does everyone want me to make friends?/" Sonya thought. /"Yeah, I will try my best./" Ms. Or Mrs. (who knows) Kristy smiled and said /"Good. OK so moving on…/" her voice trailed off as

Sonya again rested back onto her seat. She had noticed how the whole class went quiet when she spoke. Sonya looked over her shoulder and found that everyone in that guy's group was looking at her. They don't have a mean face on but just looking at her. Her eyes caught with that guy (peace buster). She quickly turned back not awkwardly but normally.

She didn't want to see any of their faces. She took out her notebook and started taking notes. Rest of her class went like this. As the bell rang again indicating that class was over. Sonya picked her bag, pushed all her stuff in the bag and got out of her room.

There was time in her next class, so she thought that she should look for the library. This building was huge which covered a big area. Because of these maps were pasted on many places. She found one of it and found out where the library was. She went in and filled the library card. Sonya went to the issue/return counter and activated her card. For a few minutes she explored the library.

She went to the section of history and found some books related to world history. As she was looking at a book while walking when she bumped into someone. She instantly said sorry as a reaction. She saw a girl wearing glasses cowering away from her saying sorry. /"Alright… See god I'm not the only weird person in this world./" Sonya thought to herself.

She went to the issue counter and issued the books. Sonya looked at her timetable to find that her next class was English. /"Let's go./" Sonya said to herself, her voice barely audible. Oh! Hold on a second. Sonya checked her poorly stuffed bag and took out a slip of her locker. She did not check her locker. So she first went to search for her locker and found it.

24 C was her locker. She put her combination but like everything wasn't working, it didn't open. A girl came beside her. Sonya asked for her help. /"My name is Lisa Rensick. In case you're wondering./" Lisa smiled, an easy smile while she worked on Sonya's locker. /"I'm Sonya Allison./" Sonya smiled genuinely for the first time on this day.

Lisa studied Sonya's face for a few seconds and chuckled. /"Guess you're having a nice day. Note the sarcasm./" Sonya sighed. /"Yup, a really nice day. Note the sarcasm./" Lisa smiled. /"I'm in the final year. You?/" Hmm. /"I'm a sophomore./"

Sonya wasn't in the mood to talk. Guess the god listened and the bell rang. /"Well then. See ya./" Lisa said /"Sure/" and went on her way.

Whole day went like this. Classes, Introduction, ignoring people and their curious gaze. Sonya didn't eat lunch. Instead, she went to the library to spend her time. While she was leaving her Gym class she overheard one girl telling another girl /"...... and then she told Shane that he and his friends name wasn't written on that seat./" Their voice trailed off. Sonya was used to listening shit about herself. Her attitude created problems for her. So she did not pay attention. Still, she now knew what that guy's name was Shane.
