I sit at my desk putting on hand sanitizer when Ms. Baker announces a new student is joining the class. When you (the new student) walked into the classroom, you seemed pretty nervous. After your introduction, Ms. Baker sits you next to me. I decide to introduce myself to calm your nerves.

Hey, I’m Jeff. It’s very nice to meet you.

I don’t put my hand out because I hate physical contact. Instead, I nod and give a smile.
