awkward silence

"so this is my new school, i guess.." i say to myself, looking around. i glance down at my phone, scrolling through my messages with my mom to find out where i meet for the tour. i see a text that says, "You have to go to the head teacher's office for the tour, have a nice day!". i walk into the school to find a large sign that has, "Principal's Office", in bold. i take one last deep breath before entering the room.

"finally, did you bring my coff- oh, it's a student. i apologize for my rude manners. my name is Mr. Brian, nice to meet you." a blonde male says, who appears to be the principal. "um, hello. my name is Bella Johnson. i'm here for the, um, tour." i say nervously. "oh, the new student. of course, your tour guide should be here in about.." he glances at the clock, "6 minutes or so.". i nod in return, then look around. it's a pale blue room with gray furniture. my eyes land on a colorful bulletin board, which is filled with schedules and a few paintings, probably from students.

"you can have a seat if you'd like" Mr. Brian offers. i take a seat in a plastic chair behind me. the room fills with awkward silence, (stan stray kids), so i decide to start a conversation, despite how antisocial i am. "so um, it's a lovel-" i start to say, but then the sound of a door opening cuts me off. "hey Mr. B! i'm here for the tour." an excited voice exclaims. i look at where the voice is coming from and it's a pale girl with short but beautiful cinnamon locks. she's wearing a plain black shirt tucked into a denim skirt, and some black high tops. she only has peach lip gloss on but she looks gorgeous. i look down at myself in shame. i'm only wearing a plain white tee and some jeans, with white converse. my hair is up in a boring ponytail, and i have simple studs on.

"oh, hello leah. yes, bella's right next to you. you may begin, but be sure to go to class on time. i don't think she fancies being late on her first day of school." Mr. Brian explains. leah glances at me, looks up and down and nods her head in approval. i turn a bit confused, but shake it off. "hi! my name is leah, ready for your tour?" she asks me, with a huge smile on her face. i return it back and reply with, " mhm! let's go then. goodbye mr. brian, i'll see you around!".
he nods back, and then we're off.
