Second Grade
November, 2042
Marianne bit at her lip, trying to look as small as possible as the teacher introduced her to the class. Faces, strange unfamiliar faces, blinked up at her, watching her curiously. She let out a tiny squeal, staring back down at her feet, trying to ignore the words that the man spoke.
They only made this situation feel much more real.
"I don't want to, I don't want to. I don't want to." She muttered in Korean, hugging herself. Marianne hadn't wanted to move. She hadn't wanted to change houses, hadn't wanted to meet her mother's new friend. She hadn't wanted any of that. All she wanted to go back to the house she'd lived in for as long as she could remember.
"Marianne?" She blinked up at the man, raising her head to look at him squarely. "Do you want to introduce yourself to the class?"
She glanced over at them, at the entire class, and her pulse spiked. There was so many people and they were all staring up at her with their beady eyes...
Marianne made herself focus not on them, but outside. The clouds were beginning to retreat, but the signs of yesterday's ran were everywhere. "Me? I'm just - Mari?" She shrugged her shoulders. "Can I go sit down now?" Please?
"Yes, of course."
He hadn't even finished his words before Marianne had smiled relievedly, the first one since she'd entered the school, and rushed to take a seat by herself.
