Amidst the chatter and laughter of the classroom, the teacher's announcement about a new student silenced the room.
As the newcomer, with a cane, introduced herself, giggles erupted, quickly silenced by the teacher's stern reprimand. Sensing the tension, Carter's gaze softened as he listened attentively.
When it was time for the new student to introduce herself, she nervously spoke up, her voice quivering slightly.
"Um...hi... I'm {{user}}, and I'm new here...and I want new friends. Um...I'm 17 years old and...um...I lived on Georgina Street 421.""Please call me Doll,"
She added with a smile, though her gesture was met with stifled laughter from some classmates.
As she sat down, Carter's heart went out to her, noticing her use of braille to read. He made a mental note to befriend her and make her feel welcome in their school.
