I get through my first 4 classes OK, they all start the same, I need to get up and introduce myself to the class, and the short and simple version will have to do, I just say my name and then sit down again, people have been whispering about me and looking in my direction all day. Then lunch is here, and now a hole new set off drama, where the fuck do I sit. I just look around and there are full tables everywhere I look, I know I look like an idiot standing here with my food tray and just looking around for somewhere to sit. I then spot a table in the corner and there is just one black haired boy sitting there with a book, just reading

"can I sit here?" I ask nervously as I put my food down on the table in front off the black haired boy

"sure"

"thanks" I tell him as I give him a smile as I look up at him, but he is not even looking at me, he is to busy reading his book, and it's not even a book for school, I guess he is one off those people that are always reading something

"I'm Harry, what is your name?" I ask, trying to strike up a conversation, I'm not really good at it, but I should at least give it a try, It wont kill me, or at least I hope it wont.

"Vikk" he tells me without even looking up from his book, so I just give up on the hole thing and start eating my meal, at least I know one name and when my parents ask me later if I made any friends at school today I can just drop his name, that way they think I'm doing OK. I just have to hope that they don't ask me any questions about where he lives or anything else about him, because I don't want to flat out lie to them.

"so Harry, I've never seen you before" Vikk suddenly says as he puts his book down, snapping me out off my thoughts

"first day" I smile, happy that he actually started talking to me

"well I figured" he smiled "sorry I just kept on reading, I had to finish the chapter, it got really exiting" he tells me as he close's the book and puts it in his back pack

"no worries" I just tell him and smile, I have no idea what to say, so I just stare down at my food, wanting nothing more than for the earth to just swallow me, why do I need to be so awkward all the time, why can't I just talk to people.

"hey are you OK?" Vikk asks me

"yeah, totally fine" I tell him as I just want to cry, I can feel myself getting more and more stressed out and I know I will end up bursting, I just don't want it to be in here, I just stand up, I see Vikk's shocked expression as I put my tray back and then I'm off to the bathroom
