Chapter 809 - 125 - Odd Pair To Odd Trio (1)
Gabrielle and I had somehow ended up becoming... well, something kinda like friends.
But honestly? Not really.
It was weird. Ever since that night in the woods, she’d started following me everywhere.
I couldn’t even begin to figure out why. She stuck to me like some lost little puppy with her literally trailing a few steps behind almost all the time, and no matter what I tried, I couldn’t get her to stop.
At some point, it even turned into this awkward routine where we’d go to the cafeteria together.
And you know what, I guess looking at her, it wasn’t that surprising.
Just like me, Gabrielle seemed to be pretty much a loner too.
I mean, I’m quiet and barely speak unless I need to, and my thick glasses pretty much complete the whole "please don’t talk to me" vibe. Gabrielle wasn’t that different. She have that stern face with that glasses, and she was serious about everything.
It was kind of strange, but... I guess we made a weirdly fitting pair.
"I think the academy really needs to add stricter curfews or something," Gabrielle said out of nowhere, her voice flat but tinged with frustration as she poked at the food on her plate. "It pisses me off how the current council president runs things. He has no clue what he’s doing, and it’s obvious he only ran because of his high noble family name. People who don’t actually deserve it shouldn’t even be allowed to run."
