Kapitel 160: First Class -2

"Remove your hand," my voice was sharp, betraying Blaze's advice.

"Huh?" Adam seemed a bit befuddled, as if he hadn't quite heard what I said.

'Don't let anger take over!' Blaze urged in my thoughts.

"Sorry," he offered, and then continued, "Do you know Mary?"

"Who?" I responded. Vexa also seemed intrigued, her brow slightly raised.

Is she friends with this guy?

"Mary Kleine. You both... were friends, right?" Adam seemed a tad taken aback.

"Oh, I remember her. It's been a year since I've seen her, so I forgot. Yes, I'm acquainted with her mother, but I don't know much about her," I answered, brushing my shoulder casually as I surveyed the classroom. Many of the gazes directed at me held a hint of disdain.
