New Interest

Electra's POV

As Iris and I stepped into the classroom, I could immediately feel the curious eyes of the other students on us. It was my first time in class since the incident with Seraphina, and it wasn't every day that I walked into class with someone they probably didn't recognize or care for.

Judging by the quick glances they exchanged, I could tell they were wondering who she was while also discreetly laughing at me.

Trying to ignore the sudden attention from them, I turned to Iris, who looked like she wanted to melt into the floor.

"So," I said, keeping my voice low to avoid drawing more attention, "where's your seat?"

Iris hesitated, then pointed to a desk near the back of the room by the window, partially tucked behind a tall cabinet. "That one," she murmured, barely meeting my gaze.

"Alright," I said with a small nod. "I'll see you later then." I gave her a quick wave before turning and heading toward my usual seat.
