Just as things were getting awkward, Tessa intervened, saving me from Beatrice’s intense stare. "This is your space," she said, gesturing to my locker and bed, like she was giving me a tour.
I nodded softly, "I know, Cecilia showed me before, but thanks Tessa." I added politely.
I went straight to my locker, opened it and was surprised to see some new-looking clothes inside. "Guess they are for me," I thought to myself.
Just then someone knocked and Cecilia walked in,"just in time," I thought and smiled to myself.
I rushed to Cecilia, "Are these clothes mine?" I asked in a low tone. Cecilia nodded with a playful smile, "Yeah, welcome gift," she said, and winked at me. I smiled shyly, "Thank you."
Cecilia’s warm smile put me at ease, a trait that seemed to come naturally to her.
