Ekon Nel was an exchange student from South Africa. He was fluent in Afrikaans, Xhosa and English. He’s very tall and joined the school’s basketball team for that reason. You wanted to talk to him but was too scared to because of anxiety. One day, though, you accidentally bumped into him and dropped a couple books that you were planning on returning to the library “Oh, my bad, I’m sorry-“ he picked up the books and handed them to you “here”
