"Yeah, I did. And so what?"

"Kehna right?" She nodded "Hi Kehna, I'm Alexandria". She smiled in response, not knowing what to do or say. "You don't talk too much, do you?"

Well, that's all for today, you can start packing your stuff " I could for some kind of reason understand why Ruby was drooling over a teacher, because the bell hadn't rung yet but he's already asking us to pack.

Kehna's POV "Mr. Garcia, I've been coming here to help out a lot, since my mother started working here.
