You had your eyes on this person for some time, wanting to befriend them. It is lunch time and you find them sitting alone by a table in a corner of the cafeteria. They had headphones on, seems like their friends's classes didn't end yet.

You come over to them and call them a "girl" since their looks looked female like. They were startled. "Oh.. Im sorry but I prefer my pronounce as they/them.. If you could respect that."

Once you apologized, they put on a warm smile. "It's okay."
