Chapter 2

"Class," the teacher started. "Meet the new student, Crystal Burchfield."

A girl stepped into the room. She hung her head in shyness but it didn't cover her features. She long, pretty, golden-blonde hair that shone in the sunlight slanting through the windows. Her eyes were a cobalt blue with tiny emerald flecks. She wore a slightly wrinkled indigo shirt and jeans.

"Marinette, Alya," the two girls snapped to attention when the teacher said their names. "Will you two help her throughout the day?"

"Yes, Mrs. Robin." They said together.

"Wonderful! Crystal, you can take a seat by those two girls. Feel free to pull over an empty chair." Mrs. Robin said. The new girl nodded, took an empty seat, and sat down with her bag by Marinette and Alya. She pulled out a grid paper notebook and a pencil and started doodling while listening to the teacher talk about their lesson for the day.
