So, Vera Xavier averted her gaze and, with perfect composure, picked up the materials to register her information.
As she picked up her pen, Connor Kander asked with a wide grin, "What's your name?"
Vera Xavier figured she ought to be polite, since it was her first day of registration. After all, she would be spending four years at the best university in the country. So, while filling out her forms, she answered, "Vera Xavier."
"Vera Xavier, huh? Nice name." Connor Kander paused after speaking, then his eyes widened in utter shock. He stared at her and asked, "What did you just say? What was your name again?"
Vera Xavier thought, 'This upperclassman seems a bit slow. He just said my name, but he's asking for it again.' So she showed him the completed form. "Vera Xavier."
Connor Kander and the boys behind him stared at her in utter disbelief. One of them stammered, "You… you're… *the* Vera Xavier?"
