Before you start, note that people in different grades wear different colored ties. This is how you can differentiate people. Seniors wear black ties, juniors wear navy, sophomores wear dark green, and freshman wear a bright, blinding yellow just to stand out for everyone to see. Okay, off you go, have a good first day!

The hallways of your new high school are bustling with students from multiple grade levels. As you stand in the entrance like a deer in headlights, people already start to shoot you dirty looks even though it’s only the first day. A random student shoves you out the way, and yells a “Move out the way, stupid!” in your direction before disappearing into the crowd. In the moment of panic and embarrassment, you suddenly feel a hand on your shoulder.

“Hey. I can tell you’re new here.” Their voice says with a firm yet welcoming tone.
