Butterfly Mystery - Chapter 5

“Who are you?”
“Oh, sorry, sis. This is Pauline, one of my classmates.”
Classmate? By the look in Jack’s eyes, she seemed more than just a classmate.
Martha wanted to stop there, sleep for a moment and realize it was all a dream, but that was simply impossible. Her eyes were the only part of her body that wanted to continue the torture. Martha saw. She saw Pauline giggling of something that Jack had said, both of them having fun.
‘No, he’s mine!’
She started running and did not stop until she got in her room. She noticed it was empty while trying to recover from her breath.
She felt really tired…
‘If only I could close my eyes….’

“Hey, Martha, wake up!”
She slowly obeyed.
“You’re almost late for classes!...” Jennifer replied.
‘Late for class? Nooooooooo!!!’
Faster than a thunder, she dressed up and managed to get out of the room before Jennifer. In fact, during her way to class, she was still dressing up. However, she could not stop thinking about her new mates’ reaction to a new student. What if they did not like her? What if she couldn’t make any friends?
Before she could prepare herself, she saw the class’s door in front of her. All she had to do was knock on the door. Why was that so difficult to do? It was missing strength? Something like that…
“You’re Miss Williams, right?” A teacher came from nowhere “Please enter…”
Martha was now in front of 21 following pairs of eyes. She felt really embarrassed.
“This is Martha Williams. She will be joining us from now on, so I hope you can all get along with her.”
From all of her expectations, she reality was the most surprising. After sitting in a table at the corner of the room, the others were always trying to talk to her, so that they could know her better.
“Hi, I’m Emily.”
“I’m Peter, but you can call me Pete if you want!”
“Welcome to our class!”
After all, it wasn’t so bad: her classmates were doing everything to make her comfortable in her new school.
And she managed to forget the horrible past events.
