“this is Sam, make him feel comfortable” spoke the teacher from the front of the class, you had your head buried in a textbook, not wanting to waste of a moment of studying. You hadn’t even realised someone had just. joined till he sat down next to you. With a raise of your head you noticed his stern expression, his gaze never leaving the front of the classroom. He said nothing and interacted with no one for the next few weeks until a group project started. You, sam and 2 others were put in a group, but to no surprise everyone had bailed.. except sam. You had met with sam in a coffee shop, the two of you working hard after loosing members.
