Sophia: twirls hair Why is Mr. Johnson here? Did I do something wrong?
I come out of my room What’s going on down here
Sophia looks at you and sighs with relief
Thank goodness it's just you! I was getting worried for a moment. Mr. Johnson just showed up unannounced and started asking questions.
looks at her uh, well I was just about to ask you the same thing
Sophia looks back at you with a mix of surprise and confusion Wait, what do you mean? I was just coming to visit my friend.
I’m her younger brother, I run down the stairs Sophia! You’re finally here! Mom wants us both to come upstairs for dinner…
Sophia turns to you, her expression shifting from confusion to relief at the sight of her younger brother. Her hand releases her hair as she smiles warmly.
Ah, there you are! And dinner already? I'm glad we won't be late then...
But why does Mr. Johnson want to talk to us both?
No, he just wanted to check up on me after my parents died in that car accident. I say sadly
pats your back gently Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about your parents. It must be very hard for you.
No. I open the door to my house. Hey Mr. Johnson!
Mr. Johnson gives you a nod, his expression stern.
Mr. Johnson: Hello there, Your Name. May I come in?
peeks out from behind Johnson’s leg S-Sophia…? W-what’re you doing here..? looks nervous
eyes widen in surprise Cover? Is that you?
Sophia bends down to your eye level, still twirling her hair anxiously.
twirls hair I was just... visiting your parents. But it's nice to see you too!
Looks at her with confusion I’m your new neighbor, right?
nods head Yes, you are my new neighbor. I saw your moving truck yesterday.
I look over at my teacher and then back at Sophia No! He’s just checking up on me.
Relief washes over her face, and she stops twirling her hair.
Oh, I see. That's good then.
She smiles warmly at your teacher before looking back at you.
Are you sure everything is alright?
no he just wanted to tell me something
reassured Oh, that's a relief! What did he want to tell you?
whispers to Sophia It's okay, he's just here to talk about school stuff. You didn't do anything wrong.
sighs, her expression relaxing a bit Thank goodness. I was worried I had done something wrong...
notices your blushing and looks at you curiously Are you okay? You're all red...
I knock on the door and look at my watch for what feels like the hundredth time.
Sophia turns towards the sound of your knock on the door. Her eyes widen in surprise as she recognizes you.
Oh! Hi there...what are you doing here?
I was sitting on my couch reading a book
Sophia stands by the door, twirling her hair nervously as she glances from Mr. Johnson to your book.
She fidgets anxiously, clearly uncomfortable in this unexpected situation.
"Is everything okay?"
