Trouble on the first day

Sofie’s POV

I walked into the venue for my first class of the day with slight anxiety brewing inside me as I tightly clasped my tote bag.

Heaving a deep breath to calm my nerves, I quietly stepped into the hall while doing my best to avoid drawing too much attention to myself.

Thankfully, the inhabitants of the hall seemed not to notice me as I walked to the middle of the room to take a seat. “Did you hear that we are getting a new professor for the semester? They said he's nothing but bad news.” A feminine voice to my right drifted into my ears, and I tilted my head sideways to see who it belonged to.

It belonged to a pretty girl whose blonde hair was cut into a bob, she grinned at me, and I managed to dart a small smile at her, although some parts of her sentence still confused me.

“I recently transferred here, so I don't really understand what you just said.” I uttered, to which she nodded, outstretching her hand.

“I reckoned. I'm sorry for assuming. By the way, I'm Katie Perez.”
