The teacher was happy Tilly was so nice. "You can have the seat behind Lily and Lilith then. They're new transfers too."
Tilly looked at where the teacher was pointing. Oh, it's near the Luke siblings. Her eyes shone. They're the popular kids of this class. "Thank you, miss. I'll try to get along with them." Tilly was happy with the arrangement, and she went to her spot.
She slowed down when she approached the boys, still smiling sweetly. Tilly looked like Vania the most when she was smiling at this angle. "Hi, Lily. Hi, Lilith," Tilly greeted them politely. "I'm new here. I don't get a lot of stuff, so I'll be in your care now." Tilly was polite. Nobody could dislike a girl like that.
"You're my classmate. Of course I'll help you out," Lily answered.
Lilith said nothing. She thought Tilly had some ulterior motive for coming here. She hated her, and Tilly didn't care about Lilith either. She sat behind the girls.
"Time for class, children. Now open your book." The teacher started teaching after she settled Tilly down.
Since Tilly was here, Lilith shifted her attention to this new girl instead of the Luke siblings. Eventually, the bell rang, and the first class came to an end. Before the teacher even left, Lilith turned around and asked, "So which kindy are you from? Why the sudden transfer?" She must have some plans of her own.
Tilly was still smiling sweetly. "I used to go to Blue Sky Kindergarten, but Mommy had a work transfer, so I moved with her."
What kinda kindy is that? Never heard of it. I know all the kindies in Hammond, but I never heard of Blue Sky. And she has a mother? Is she actually an innocent girl? "It's not in Hammond, is it?" Lilith looked at her. Tilly wasn't wearing the latest clothes, nor was it brand-name goods.
Tilly answered honestly, "I was born in Trout Village."
That's some remote village. It's in Hammond's rural area. Lilith looked down on her even more. She's just a bumpkin. Nothing to be afraid of.
The Luke siblings were listening in, and they thought differently from Lilith. Lily suddenly asked, "Did you hurt your eye, Tilly?"
Did I hurt my… Tilly's smile froze, and she looked at Lily cautiously. "No. Why do you ask, Lily?" She was looking away from Lily and blocking the corner of her eye out. She had a feeling that Lily could see through her. Tilly was starting to get cautious.
Lily apologized politely, "Sorry. I must be seeing things then."
Tilly pretended to brush it aside. "It's alright. But why do you ask?" She couldn't understand.
"Oh, I saw a scar on the corner of your eye, so I thought you must be hurt. I have a great salve for it. It gets rid of any scar, so I was thinking I should give it to you as a present for our meeting."
