Maisie packed up her things and walked over to Zinnia. She said, “Zinnia, let’s grab some food. Class 1 still has another half-hour of lessons, and Isaac won’t be here for a while.”

“Sure,” Zinnia replied. Food was the most important thing to her.

“Lydia, come with us,” Maisie offered as she turned to Lydia with a bright smile.

“Okay,” Lydia replied softly, gathering her things.

Maisie was a bit surprised but genuinely happy. Although she had known Lydia for years, Lydia’s introverted nature often kept her from mingling with others.

Lydia preferred to keep to herself, reading alone and rarely participating in group activities. Maisie’s invitation had been more of a casual attempt, so Lydia’s acceptance was unexpected.

“Alright, let’s go,” Maisie said cheerfully. Normally, she hung out with other classmates, but ever since Zinnia joined, she had turned down those invitations to stick with Zinnia.

“Okay,” Zinnia replied and followed Maisie.

Lydia clutched her book tightly as she walked beside them. Somehow, Zinnia ended up sandwiched between Lydia and Maisie.

Ethan jogged up from behind and teased, “Are you three forming a girl group or something?”

Brian, with one hand casually in his pocket, gave them a once-over and smirked. He chimed in, “Not gonna lie, it fits. You’ve got a dark assassin, a spoiled princess, and a mastermind plotting in the shadows. Brains and brawn-your very own bodyguards!”

Maisie had a crisp and clean look. She had a short bob hairstyle. She was wearing a black, short-sleeved, square-necked top and a pair of black tactical pants.

Lydia, with her straight bangs and long hair cascading over her shoulders, had a delicate face half-hidden behind oversized black-framed glasses. She clutched a book to her chest, exuding an air of scholarly elegance in her simple white T-shirt and wide-leg pants.

And in the middle was Zinnia, looking pure and adorably clueless. Her complexion, soft and clear gaze, and pretty dress made her seem like an innocent child being protected by the other two.
