The next day, I learned that Felicity had not only become William’s new neighbor, but had also transferred to our school.
The monthly exams had just finished, and the teacher was reviewing the results. I, whose grades were average, had managed to get first place in the class for Chinese, but just as the teacher finished praising me, Felicity appeared at the classroom door.
The whole class erupted in excitement. No one cared about my grades anymore; everyone was looking at Felicity outside the door.
"Wow, our school is such a beauty!"
"Are you crazy? She’s obviously a transfer student; otherwise, how come I haven’t seen her before?"
That’s when I realized that Felicity had not only become William’s neighbor, but was also about to become our classmate.
What I didn’t expect was that when choosing a deskmate, Felicity chose me.
"Emily, you’re the only girl I know in this class. You’ll have to help me out in the future."
"I know you and William are close. Can you take me with you next time?"
Her smile was radiant, like the warm sun in winter.
And I, it seemed, couldn’t find any reason to refuse.
From then on, a third person entered between William and me.
