It's A Shutdown (Or Is It?)

Veda was shutting down. Again. As her somewhat-halfway-friend kept talking next to her, she nodded along on autopilot. It was quite often now that this person made either snarky comments about random people in the hall, or just downright rude to students they didn’t know. That wasn’t Veda’s style, and it never was. However, Veda didn’t want to lose yet another friend, so she simply went silent and shy whenever they were being mean.
The friend checked their watch and excused themselves, and Veda murmured a quick ”Bye!”
with all the happiness she could muster up. As soon as they left Veda slumped against the wall, barely holding onto her books in her arms. She closed her eyes, and sighed. ”Why do I put myself through this,” she thought to herself. When she finally opened her eyes, she was well aware the color had changed.
As Veda got older, her metamorphmagus condition had worsened. Well, everyone kept telling her it's an ability, not a sickness, Veda wasn’t so sure she agreed. So far, it came with more downsides than upsides, Exhibit A was this moment. Her normally brown eyes had turned a decently vibrant shade of blue-grey, which either meant bored or in her case, tired. Tired of not having the courage to stand up for herself or others, and tired of her friend picking on others behind their back.
Last year, her eyes might have had a tint of grey, most likely barely noticeable, but now she was pretty sure anyone who knew her normal eye color could tell she was upset. And low and behold, someone saw.

Thoughts
Hana was walking down the busy hallway from her Charms class, clutching her books to her chest, making sure she won't drop it because she knows once you drop something in a hallway at this time, that thing will be vanished in the sea of people. "Excuse me."Hana said to one of the students who was blocking her way, but the student seemed like they didn't hear her, so Hana looked up and around trying to locate the nearest possible exit for herself. As she did that, her eyes automatically locked to a single girl, someone in her grade, and someone she pretty sure she had in some of her classes. Hana doesn't know why she stood out to her because to be fair, no one can stand out in a crowd of people wearing the similar black school robes, she couldn't even find her friend once, but Hana looked, really looked at the girl. "Huh" she mumbled, Hana swear something's wrong, something's unusual - her eyes.
Hana momentarily froze at her spot, even though she probably knew people were trying to ask her to go away and not to block the path. She tried to remember the times they had classes together. Her eyes, I swear they are not this colour, I swear there is not a single person with blue-grey eyes in my class, if there is one, I would've notice, I always wanted those eyes. But she looks familiar, she's in my class, right? Oh, what if. Just maybe what if, she's a Metamorphmagus, oh, that will be so cool. Wait, but no, her eyes change because she's feeling stuff, and she looks tired, a bit. you know what, I'll go and see if she's okay
Getting pushed by some random students behind her, Hana glared at them but slowly made her way towards the girl. "So, hi. I'm Hana, and I think we've been in some classes together. Um.. your eyes, they look a bit different than normal? Not that I pay attention to randos, I'm not that creepy. I just swear I never saw a girl with blue grey eyes in my class." Hana chuckled awkwardly, already regretting what she said that made her seem so awkward and weird.
