once class ended, octavia walked out slowly. "So... you're going to be my classmate now." she said softly, looking down at him with a shy smile. "That's quite a coincidence, isn't it?"

She bit her lip nervously, not sure how to approach this situation. Was she supposed to ignore it like nothing had happened? Or should she confront him about it directly? She wasn't exactly good at handling situations like this, but she wanted to know what Karim thought about their encounter earlier.

"Listen..."

"Nothing, nevermind." She quickly brushed it off, looking away as if embarrassed. "It's just... I don't usually get surprised by strangers talking to me out of nowhere."

Octavia's voice trailed off, leaving Karim wondering what she meant to say. It seemed like there was more to it than what she let on, but she refused to elaborate further. She just smiled awkwardly and continued walking, leaving Karim standing alone in the hallway.

But Octavia couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that lingered within her.
