the term "social anixety" means that it's a fear of being watched or judged by others. those who have this problem may feel sick to their stomach, sweat, or feel their heart race. but the truth is that they actually want to have relationships.
starful private high is an prep school, and the former camp counselor of camp hope, tim orford, had got in.
"i can't believe that i got in!" tim told himself that he's always been normal, goofy, but mostly normal, he then told himself that he shouldn't be too ambitious since his main goal was to blend in and avoid making waves.
'that's good enough! right? that's all i want!'
we know but fitting in but not standing out is the shortcut to happiness, and it's not like tim had a hard time in junior high because he tried to stand out... nope! it's not that!
'saying hello or good morning is important!"
"if that's your locker then we must be in the same class, good morn-"
tim turned his head at the african american girl with glasses. to tim, she was so pretty. but to the girl herself, she thought that she was ugly. she turned her head at tim, basically just staring into his soul with her dark brown eyes. she left the room.
'did i do something wrong?'
"jayla's her name?"
'but what happened back there!?'
tim still haven't noticed that jay can't communicate.
'why did she react like that? but wow, she was so pretty. but i'm so goofy that we'll probably never interact ever again in our lives!'
tim's high school experience is going to be so peaceful... yeah, it's totally going to be peaceful with tim and jayla's seats next to each other. jay was already the kid being made fun of, both in middle and high school.
'i'm glad that me and jayla are sitting together... but however...'
tim looked at the rest of the kids making fun of tim and jayla sitting together. guess his high school experience was already in rough waters.
the teacher walked up to her table and told the class that it was time to introduce themselves. one girl told the class that her name was freya, with one of the other students making fun of her name.
'at least the students are welcoming.' tim thought sarcastically. next up was jayla, she got up and wrote her name on the whiteboard with her messy handwriting. the students started laughing. last but not least was tim, he introduced himself:
"um, hello there, i am tim orford, and i'm new to this school. i'm very good at reading the room!"
"uh, no you're not! you suck at it!"
"just kidding, haha..."
tim realized that the end of his high school life has began.
