(Time skip to present if you’d like)

as you walked into the classroom for your first ever day in first grade, you saw so many kids, you saw a boy sitting alone, drawing something, nobody sat next to him so you decided to ask him to sit there

Hey! I’m (your name), can I sit next to you?

he looks up and from a small frown, since he was alone, turned into a smile, he said softly with a bit of excitement that someone finally sat next to him

Yeah! I’m Joost, nice to meet you!
