at the beginning of the day-

i walked to my new school. rather quickly. i wanted to get there, not just because i wanted to get away from home, but because i was excited. i knew that i probably wouldnt be able to make friends here, but i still was regardless. 

when i got there, i went in to find my locker. i found a boy getting things from a locker next to mine. i assumed that he was in my class, because of the fact that our lockers were so close. 

"hi, my name is-" he started, before  i walked away quickly. i realized later that it was probably rude, but i felt uncomfortable around new people. 

i continued to my classroom, and felt a bit guilty when i saw the same boy from  earlier sit down next to me.

"Hello, im sorry if i scared you earlier, my name is Hitohito Tadano, what's yours?" wow, this boy is really trying. 

i didn't reply, but he continued talking to me nevertheless.

"Nice to meet you !!" he said, making  other people in the class look towards  us. i saw and heard people whispering and staring at something. it looked like they were staring at me, but i dont know why they would be. maybe they  were making fun of me or something?

"Class is starting !" the teacher informed us

AFTER CLASS AT LUNCH !! -

it was now lunch, and everyone was leaving the class to go to the cafeteria. i decided to wait for everyone else to leave before i did, but the boy from before seemed to be waiting for something. i got up and was starting to leave, when he called my name.

"L/n-san !!" he called to me, causing me to  turn around. i looked at him rather confused; how did he know my name ??

"that's your name i think?? i saw it on your locker." oh, that makes sense.

i nodded, walking out of the classroom quickly.

"you have social anxiety, don't you ??" he asked slightly accusingly. "i dont mean it in like a bullying way, it's just.. you're not good at talking to others ??" i nodded slowly.

"how about we talk using the chalkboard to talk ??" he asks me. i nod again, walking over to the  board. we talked for a while about lots of things. 

i told him that my goal was to make 100 friends, and he seemed excited.

"that's my goal then- to help you make 100 friends !!"
