The embarrassment was truly unbelievable. How many times had she told herself that she would essentially be invisible to all? Yet here she was, a blubbering mess in front of someone that most likely stuck out like a sore thumb. Sighing, Jade smiled at the girl before nodding at her explaining that it was ok. Jade’s lavender eyes shot down as Mora shot out her hand, Jade mirroring the actions by reaching out and giving it a firm shake.
“Nice to meet you too.” The petite girl looked up and smiled brightly at her newfound companion. She thanked the gods that Mora didn’t take it as bad as she imagined. She would’ve died if Mora would have gotten mad or embarrassed her any more than she already was.
“Where do you come from?”Her voice was bright and lively as she spoke to the taller of the two, her eyes slowly going from looking at her over to where everyone was walking to. She motioned for them to walk as she didn’t want to be one of the last to arrive to the dormitories. Luckily, Mora seemed to have been thinking the same as she began to walk and Jade followed, listening intently to her. She enjoyed hearing people’s stories and learning from where others were from, maybe she could get some insight on what was beyond her small town.
As the girls walked, Jade’s ears perked up at the sound of a familiar voice. It was strange as others were talking all at once, her keen ears picked up the sound of an old friend of hers.
“No way,” she whispered quietly as she turned around, her eyes searching the faces of everyone around them. They finally came to a halt once she saw Lauren’s face, it seemed a bit red as if she had been running.
’Maurer probably set her out to run,’ she thought to herself as her eyes shot back up at Mora who had just finished talking.
“Oh, Mora, would you like to meet someone?”Her smile had turned into a grin as she turned around and started waving, calling out Lauren’s name.
“Lauren! Come on, Mora!”She grabbed Mora’s hand for a quick second and tugged, letting go and jogging for a small distance.
“Lauren I can’t believe you’re here!” She practically squealed as she tackled her friend into a tight hug. It wasn’t until she had opened her eyes that she realized she had just interrupted Lauren from a conversation with someone else. Jade quickly let go of her old friend and cleared her throat, looking down at her feet as she apologized.
“I’m so sorry, I didn’t realize...” looking back up, Jade smiled at the two as she once again turned a red color.
