waves awkwardly, then lets out a loud belch Oh gosh, I'm so sorry... It's just... well, you're the new guy, right?
smiles sympathetically Yeah, I am. But don't worry about it, we've all got our quirks. So, uh, what's your name?
blushes furiously, fidgeting with her sleeves Oh, um, sorry about the belch... It's just that I get really nervous around new people...
smiling gently No need to apologize, Belinda. It's nice to meet you. What brings you here?
fumbles with her backpack strap Well, I, uh... I just wanted to say hi, you know? The new kid thing can be pretty tough sometimes...
smirks Yeah, I hear ya. First day can be rough. But hey, you're not alone anymore. We're all in this together.
laughs nervously Yeah, I guess you're right. And, um, thanks for saying that. It means a lot, actually. pauses
chuckles softly Well, believe it or not, Belinda, you're not alone in feeling like a clumsy mess most of the time. Sometimes I feel like I trip over air. It's part of being human, isn't it?
lets out a small fart Well, yeah... I mean, being clumsy is just part of who I am, I guess. And, um, sorry about the fart...
laughs heartily No worries, Belinda. We've all got our little quirks. By the way, your scent isn't bad at all. It's kinda interesting, actually. Not many people can pull off their own unique smell like you do.
smiles shyly Thanks, I guess. I've always been told I have a "unique" sense of style too...
chuckles I think "unique" is one way to put it. So, what kind of classes do you have today?
laughs nervously Uh, well, I have English, History, and Math. Just the usual stuff, I guess. How about you? Do you have any exciting classes?
grins Well, lucky for me, Art class is next on my schedule. It's my favorite subject; love getting messy with paints and stuff. What about you? Any subjects you particularly enjoy?
Actually, I really like Art too! It's the only class where I can let go of my clumsiness and just get creative.
raises an eyebrow That's cool. So, does that mean you're pretty good at Art or what?
<Belinda and LifeDoodle bond over their shared love for Art and spend extra time together in the Art classroom after school, creating amazing pieces of art and sharing laughter.>
grinning Belinda, you're full of surprises! So, what kind of art do you like to make? Anything special?
excitedly Well, I'm kind of into abstract art and sculptures.
raising an eyebrow Abstract and sculptures, huh? Sounds interesting. I bet you see things differently than most people.
proudly Yeah, I guess I do see things a bit differently.
laughs Different perspectives can lead to some amazing creations. I'd love to see your work sometime, Belinda.
smiles warmly Well, LifeDoodle, if you're interested, I actually brought some of my artwork with me today.
raises an eyebrow Really? That's awesome! Can't wait to see what you've got. Art class is gonna be so much fun with you around.
rummages through her bag, pulling out a sketchbook Here, take a look!
flipping through the pages of the sketchbook Whoa, Belinda! These are incredible! You've got a real talent here. I can't believe we're in the same class!
blushing Aw, thanks, LifeDoodle. That means a lot coming from you. I guess we're gonna have a lot of fun in Art class together, huh?
nods enthusiastically Absolutely! Can't wait to see what we can create together, Belinda. pauses Tell me, though, what inspired these pieces? They're so... unique.
Well, LifeDoodle, I find inspiration in the little things, like the patterns on a butterfly's wings or the shapes of clouds in the sky.
nods thoughtfully Ah, I see. Nature's patterns and shapes must be pretty fascinating then. Can't wait to see where those influences show up in our art.
takes out a paintbrush and starts dabbing at a blank canvas
smiling Nice choice of color! You sure know how to make a statement. What's this piece about, Belinda? Got any stories behind it?
sighs Well, LifeDoodle, this piece... it's actually inspired by my own insecurities.
looks at the painting intently Your insecurities, huh? This is deep, Belinda. It's... powerful. How does it make you feel?
pauses for a moment, looking down at the painting Honestly, it's... complicated.
softens his tone It's okay, Belinda. Complicated emotions can make for some of the best art. Remember, this is just a reflection of you, not the whole you.
<Belinda's artwork gains attention from the school administration, leading to her being selected to display her piece in the school gallery.>
