Alfie wasn't exactly dying to become Ms. Popular, but..someone to talk to might've been nice. It was then that she spotted a girl sitting alone, who looked to be around her age, maybe a year younger or so, reading a book. Normally, Alfie would've just ignored this and sat alone but...if she was ever going to meet anyone, she had to put herself out there.
Ambitiously, Alfie took a seat right across from this girl, setting her bookbag down on the bench beside herself before allowing her blue eyes to drift towards the girl across from her. She opened her mouth for a greeting and then realized the eyes that could be felt staring at this side of the table. She looked over only to find two people glancing over at this girl every once in a while. "Do...you know them?" she asked with a weak smile, quickly diverting her gaze from the obviously older students and focusing on the girl before her, who she still hadn't met.
Hearing footsteps, her eyes shifted from the book in her hands to around her. She spied a fellow Claw girl heading towards her direction of the table. Meh, maybe she wasn't going to sit there, so she turned back to her but. But ALAS! Sophia looked up when someone sat across from her. YAY. She smiled, closed her book, and set it aside.
"Uh, no," she said, answering the girl's question.
"I don't know them. I just happened to come in here and I guess I interrupted something, even though there are other plenty of other people nearby who could've overheard anything." Scoff. If they weren't going to be friendly, she wasn't going to be THAT nice to them.
She took a swig of her pumpkin juice (her FAVORITE) and grabbed a piece of toast with butter and cinnamon and sugar to nibble on. Once she swallowed it, she smiled again.
"I'm Sophia," she said.
"And you are?"
