Serena"

"Serena!"

As Alonzo's face appeared in front of me, my eyes widened. He switched his seat near me and I didn't notice. I don't want to sit next to him because I was trying to avoid some rumors about Alonzo and me, that I was a servant's daughter, but since my father told his family that Alonzo was the man he wanted to marry me, Alonzo was more close to me. I don't mind because Alonzo was dear to me as well, but there was a part of me that didn't want this.

"Serena's thoughts were diverted by someone, mother! "Try calling her again," Alonzo had advised, and I wanted to hit my forehead. I saw that if there was an absence today, our instructor was starting to summon us. My body was there, but my mind sprang out of nowhere.
