Martin
"Alright new student, you may come in now"
As soon as my teacher gave her signal, I slowly walked in and stood in front of the class. I could hear whisper and giggles around the room.
"H-hello" I managed to say.
"M-my name is Martin, I-it's nice to meet you all.."
I started to feel my face warm up a bit, causing me to look down shyly.
"Why don't you go take a empty seat, and welcome to our class" the teacher smiled.
I then bowed slightly towards the teacher then head towards the seat at the back row. Although my vision was pretty bad, I always still preferred to stay at the back where it's less noticeable for others to see me.
As I was listening to the teacher, I then started to hear slight music playing from the side of me.
I decided to ignore it.
I took notes on what we need to prepare for the school year and had double checked the calendars.
The music was soon starting to bother me slightly as it gradually gets louder, but I waited until the bell ring. I slightly glanced to see where it was coming from, it turned out to be a gaming console. I never really had any gaming devices before so I couldn't really recognize what game nor what device that was.
But as I was wondering about the device, the bell rang. So I soon packed my notes and head to the next class.

Lunch.
The period I worry the most about.
I don't have any connections with anyone, so I don't have a place to sit.
I look around and see all the tables already full. It's amazing how fast people are when it comes to lunchtime, as soon as the bell rings, everyone just magically appears around the tables with their group.
So I decided to head out.
I walked out of the cafeteria and was sitting on the little hill next to the gym and field.
"My next period is P.E so I guess this is a nice place.."
I started eating and watched the other kids run around the field playing soccer.
As soon as I finishing my lunch, I started heading down the hill and run towards where the P.E lockers were. I'm not really ashamed of my own physical appearance, but thinking of the fact me being around of random strangers and changing in front of them gets me pretty anxious. So I change a few minutes before the bell rings.

The bell rings and I head to the gym. I see that I'm the first one, so I just stood around the entrance, waiting until some other students head in, then soon followed them.
The coach had given us assigned seating for us. I was placed near by the front row, and I wanted to scream slightly (not like I'd ever really do that). Since it's the first day of school, we had sort of a free play, but I just sat on the bench reading my book.
"Excuse me"
I felt a slight tap on my shoulder and flinched a bit. I looked up to see a person with white hair tied up with a ponytail.
"Ah. Sorry, didn't mean to startle you."
He sticks his hand out
"My name is baki."
I looked down slightly towards my book.
"M-my name is Martin" I said shyly
"Nice to um.. meet you" he puts his hands behind his back.
It was awkward for a moment. Maybe I should've shook his hand...
He then sat down next to me and reached for his bottle. He took a big drink out of it. He then turned towards me.
"Is um...is there something on my face?.." he asked
I then realized I was staring at him and my face went hot again, so I looked away.
"S-sorry about that, I-I didn't mean it"
"It's totally fine, I have a friend who did that the first time we met too" he laughed a bit.
He seemed like a nice person. I looked at the clock to see the bell was going to ring soon.
"I-I'm sorry, I'm going to go to the lockers. I-it was nice meeting you"
I bowed slightly in gratitude and ran off  to the lockers to change.

After I finished changing, the bell rang, so I went to the bathroom. Looking around, I checked if anyone was around(weird habit I've developed), and then went in a stall.
Once I was done with my business, I went to wash my hands. That was when I heard the music again. The same music from my first class.
A boy walked out and seemed to be unamused with his game. He was just kinda standing around playing his game.
"Are you done?" He said without looking up from his console.
"S-sorry!" I then moved out the way.
He put down the console and washed his hands. He left right after. He seemed like a person that was hard to approach, so I didn't really bother try talking to him...but..I think I'd be nice to at least try and communicate with him..
