"He's just trying to bother you."
-You just want to annoy her- next to him, a young man with brown hair and black eyes spoke-. There's no point talking to him. He's an idiot most of the time- Lyra smiled a little.
-I diet, just like you, I worry about my face, just like you, I make mistakes, just like you. You can search for them, there are many compilations of them. As I said before, my intention was to introduce myself... I am not oblivious to your concerns, your feelings, I know them because I have them. And, my face may not appear on the screen but it is my wish to do so one day, and I am terrified of it. That's all, I won't hide in here anymore, I won't avoid you anymore. You are free to choose your attitude towards me but, please, I don't want any more whispers, any more rumors about me. If you have questions, I'll be happy to answer any time.
Fin took his hand from under the table.
-Now, back to the annual goals- Kira heard little about it. She was absorbed in the previous conversation, of course, she never expected everyone to understand her and become friends. That wouldn't happen. She simply wanted to put an end to the discomfort, the lies, and create a relaxed environment in which to work better.
-...as for music videos. Each group, each artist has a budget for it and, this year, we will have interns from the university, they will not be there every day. I would appreciate your kindness and support towards them.
At that moment, through the glass walls, Kira saw a figure. Her body tensed, his black hair dancing to the rhythm of her quick steps.
-I'm sorry- a woman in a suit nodded into the room-, can I interrupt for a moment?
-Sure- Fin accepted, smiling.
-Hello everyone- she greeted- since you're all here I want to introduce you to this year's interns- she motioned for them to enter. There were five of them, two women, three men, but Kira didn't see any of them, her eyes were fixed on Vick. The boy looked around in amazement, a childish gleam appearing in his eyes. He scanned the faces as his classmates introduced themselves, then he noticed her.
-Hello- he raised a hand smiling-, he looked away to see the rest-. I'm Vick, it's a pleasure to meet you. I will be assigned to the sound and recording team. I'm looking forward to spending time with you- he smiled openly, his gaze fixed on Kira.
"Please make it stop"
