Y/N kept her head down as she walked through the halls of her new school. It was much larger and grander than what she was used to, but she wasn't complaining. She just wished she knew someone there already. It was hard for her, transferring and not having any friends where she was going, but she held strong.
She glanced up at the groups of girls scattered around the hallway. They all knew their place and had each other. Y/N was just Y/N.
Thankfully, no one looked menacing to her. They just sort of stared at her curiously. Sure, some people introduced themselves, but Y/N didn't make friends easily so after very small talk, the students had excused themselves.
Y/N felt someone bump her and her book bag went flying. She gasped as her notes scattered on the floor.
"I am so sorry!" A dark haired boy said as he crouched down and began to gather her things for her. "I was focused on something else and I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." He straightened and handed her the pages he had just picked up. "Are you okay?"
Y/N was struck by the kind light she saw in his blue eyes. She stared at them for several seconds before blinking and taking the papers from his hand. "I'm fine." She said quietly as she picked up her purse.
The teen nodded and looked like he was going to walk away, but he hesitated. He smiled and held out his hand. "I'm Tim Drake."
Y/N flushed a bit before putting her hand in his. "Y/N L/N."
Tim's smile widened. "You're the new girl?" He asked.
Y/N winced a bit before nodding. She hated being called that, but it came with the territory she guessed
"How are you settling in?" He asked. He seemed genuinely interested in her answer.
"Pretty okay. I think. Everything is just a bit.... Much right now." Y/N said as she fiddled with the strap for her bag.
Tim nodded again. "Yeah, it took me awhile to get used to this place, too. If you want, I can show you around?"
Y/N had received many similar offers in the past couple of days, but she had found a reason to decline them all. Now, looking at Tim's friendly smile, she found herself unable to refuse.
"That would be great." She said, finally braving another look at his eyes. They were bright and brilliant as he took her hand.
"Just follow me and I'll make sure everything is fine." With her hand firmly nestled in his, she believed him with all her heart.
