All seven of us immediately stood up, almost knocking over our lunches, "W-Weren't you sitting at the table over t-there?" A frightened Lissa asked.
"Does your group always talk about people behind their backs?" Tharja asked while giving us one of the most fear inducing glares I have ever seen. All anyone talked about was how beautiful she was, while this was true that does not undermine the scariness of what we were seeing, her stare seemed near demon-like.
"Umm, we are sorry about that, new students are uncommon here, so forgive us for being curious, we promise it won't happen again, you're more than welcome to sit with us so we can talk this out," Chrom offered, trying to fix any potential hostility.
"Hmm, I'll pass, I finished my lunch anyway," Tharja quickly declined his offer, grabbing her stuff and began to walk past us.
Once again as she was moving past, she locked eyes with me again, for whatever reason. Again it was an unexplainable feeling; another brief moment lasting another lifetime, as if she was looking through me, something about her was bothering me.
My eyes followed her as she left the cafeteria, only to turn back to see everyone else at the table's eyes on me. I jumped a bit seeing that, I clearly was on edge after that. "…What?!" I said to break the silence.
"What was that?!" Chrom asks.
"Do you two know each other or something?" Lissa asks.
"Is there something you're not telling the rest of us Robin?" Frederick asks.
"Does that wench have some sort of relation to you Robin?" Maribelle asks.
"Guys guys take it easy with the questions please," I didn't have an answer nor could I handle being bombarded with these questions all at one time.
"Hey man have you been making passes at my girl?!" Vaike asks the most ridiculous question of them all.
"Last time I checked no one was your girl," I replied.
"Hey, we aren't talking about my love my life right now!" Vaike replies.
"You brought it up," Sumia said; glad to know I wasn't the only crazy one here.
"Guys I don't know where all these questions came from, but as far as Tharja is concerned I have known her just as long as the rest of you," I try to explain, it isn't like us sharing eye contact a few times is much to talk about to begin with.
"Hmm, if you insist Robin," Chrom says, everyone sits down, still suspicious of me as ever.
I let out a sigh, surely this will blow over soon enough, eventually the topic changes. I really could use a break. Soon the day starts to wind down as we reach the last class of the day. This class I don't have with Chrom, Vaike, or any of the others, here I sit with Gaius and our friend Cherche.
Cherche was the president of the Soaring club. She was very beautiful but could be a bit mindless at times. Most of the time she was really smart but some of the things she says often come off as just plain odd.
Once I take my seat beside the two the first thing that I hear from Gaius is of course, "So Robin word on the street is that you and the new girl have been sharing glances."
My frustration is rapidly growing, "Oh come on! Where'd you even hear that?" I ask.
"You think I don't hear things Bubbles? Plus Vaike had a debt to repay so he paid with info." Gaius explains. I let out another sigh. I really question how such minimal information could suffice for a chocolate bar with this guy.
"All day it seems the new girl is all everyone is talking about," Cherche adds.
"Yeah you can say that again, and Gaius when they say glances, literally all they are is a couple glances, no more no less." I attempt to explain, no matter where I go I must argue this.
"Sheesh, with this amount of denial you act as this is something you wouldn't want," Gaius points out.
"That Tharja certainly is a pretty one, wait Robin you do like girls right?" Cherche asks.
"What! Of course I do, and yea Tharja is pretty I'm not saying she isn't, I just don't want rumors spreading that aren't true that's all, I'm not like Vaike who is always just trying to flaunt over everything," I do my best to explain.
"If you insist Robin, personally I always found Vaike to be kind of charming, for being the big oaf he is anyway," Cherche says.
"Well that opinion certainly isn't a common one," I reply.
"Hmm, so you two have got no past history whatsoever?" Gaius continues to interrogate me.
"None, I swear I met her for the first time today just like the rest of the school," I reply.
"Hmm, well then either way I may be able to find some more information, you know, for a fee," Gaius says.
"Thanks but no thanks, me and the rest the group already made her angry with that at lunch today, we promised to not talk about her so I am going at least attempt to honor that," I attempt to take some sort of high road.
"Well how about this, I can't quite remember where but I am pretty sure she is from the same city as someone else from this school, I assume they could know a little something about our mystery student," Gaius got both mine and Cherche's attention.
"Who?" I ask.
"You run the book club here right?" Gaius asks.
"Yeah," I reply.
"Is it someone in there?" Cherche asks.
"Yeah, some guy who lives on my street, he moved here a couple years back, he told me where he's from, I don't remember where but it sounds familiar to where I heard Tharja is from. He's in the book club, has white hair, and he's a serious weirdo." Gaius describes.
I shifted the description around in my head, "Oh you mean Henry?"
