Lesley's smile gradually faded. "Uhm, no, nothing either."

"You're kidding, right? Someone as pretty and kind as you don't have a friend? I find that hard to believe."

I didn't even have time for myself. And... I'm not a very confident person, and I'm a bit reserved. I guess people thought I was weird."

"Oh... I see. I hope you find friends here. We have girls here who are your age. Do you want me to introduce you to them?"

"No. It's alright," she politely declined and then rotated her head to look around. "It's beautiful here."
