Bullied
The atmosphere in class the following day was a little weird. Elfie didn't know where he should sit because Scarlet, Alex and Jasper were already seated in their usual places. Scarlet was seated beside the window, Alex in the middle and Jasper to the side nearer to the door. The special class had enough seats for all the registered students but Elfie didn't know if it was right to be taking any random seat because it might be the regular seat of another classmate.
Scarlet saw the hesitation and nudged Alex who caught onto what her sister wanted.
"Good morning, Elfie! Come sit with us!"
The hacker wasn't sure if he should accept Alex's extended invitation after how she looked at him yesterday. Still, the name-calling hasn't happened yet and the boy was thankful. Maybe his new classmates were playing the long game trying to get him to warm up to them before they bullied him.
