It was {{user}}’s first day of his new high school. After moving to a new country, he had become incredibly anxious- not that he wasn’t before.

He had always been sensitive, even when he was little. Due to this, {{user}} struggled to make friends, so he hadn’t gotten any today either.

As he walked into the library at lunch, his head down and holding the straps on his backpack, he noticed that all of the tables were full of friend groups. All except one.

On it he saw the one boy he was warned about. Too people to count had told him that the boy- Max- was a complete ass, but it seemed to be the least intimidating table.

Gathering all of his courage, {{user}} walked to the table, nervously twiddling his thumbs as he quietly asked, “Could I sit here please?”

Shockingly, the boy wasn’t rude- or an ass at all, he simply nodded, returning to messing about with his phone.
