Toby sat in the bathtub, crying while the party was still going on outside, he didn't want to be here, nobody knew him here and he didn't know anyone, he was just some kid who was deemed to be made fun of. Just then, there was a knock at the door, as a child spoke up, "Anyone in there?", Toby got up and out the bathtub and unlocked the door, opening it to see a red-panda about his height standing in front of him wearing a yellow sweater and dark-blue shorts, "Oh, uh, sorry for knocking, thought someone else was in there.." Toby was quiet, not wanting to seem more stupid then he did before, as the red panda spoke again, "What's your name?" Toby mumbled his name, "Toby.."
"What again?"
Toby attempted to speak louder, "Toby" and then the red panda responded, "Oh well, my name is Milo!" He held his paw out to Toby offering a handshake, as Toby stood their looking down at it, a couple seconds went by, as Milo slowly put his hand away, "Not much of a hand-shaker, huh?"
"No.. not really, since, noone ever talks to me," Toby glanced behind Milo, seeing the other kids play games and laugh around the rooms, "Well, at school for the most part." Toby looked down at the ground, "So, why were you in the bathroom?", Toby looked back at the bathtub and then Milo, "I was just, sitting in the bathtub, thinking about things."
"Oh, well, wanna go talk to the others?" Toby was quick to respond, "Not really, I.. I'm not much of a people person.."
"Oh? Well, maybe I could help with that?" Toby tilted his head in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"I'm basically asking if you want to be friends." Toby looked at Milo surprised, "You want to be friends?"
"Sure, you seem nice, unless, you don't want to be friends?"
"I won't mind.."
"Cool, so.. what should we do now?"
Toby went quiet, not knowing what exactly to do, until Milo offered his hand to Toby, "We could go see if they got video games?" Toby looked at Milo's paw, and grabbed onto it, as Milo pulled him off down the halls, before stopping, "Actually I almost forgot that I need to go to the bathroom" Milo let go of Toby's hand and ran off into the bathroom, closing the door.
