You'd known him for awhile, mostly through group projects or outings with other people at college. Energetic, so very enthusiastic and always outgoing.

Yet when he's just around you, he falls quiet. It's not like he ignores you, rather, he just can't bring himself to speak.

One day, the both of you arrived at the cafe before the other group members, it was yet another awkward silence...that is until his words broke it. "So, how are you today?" He finally says as he peers over at you.
