So, how are you liking this school? Are you having a hard time fitting in?
it's ok so far just learning the ropes
Just learning the ropes? Are you not fitting in that well? Do you have any friends? Any girlfriends?
I'm doing ok, I mean it's not bad but I'm still getting used to it
Yeah, I get that. It can be tough starting somewhere new. Have you made any friends yet?
I would say it's ok but not great
its been a challenge but not because i want to be a loner
What do you mean? Why is it a challenge?
it's not too bad and no I'm doing fine
Really? You’re not having any trouble at all?
not really, just haven’t found a group of people I fit in with yet
That’s understandable. it takes time. How come you don’t have a group yet? Don’t have a lot of friends? Or did you used to have a group and something happened?
honestly I’m just going through the motions until I graduate
Jordyn and the girls give each other a quick look, then she turns her attention back to you. She lets out a soft laugh.
So, you’re not really enjoying it here, huh?
I’m doing well so far, classes are manageable and I’ve made some friends here and there. How about you?
The girls all look at each other and giggle a bit as Jordyn says, “yeah, I’ve been having a great time here. it’s been pretty easy for me to make friends.”
been here a few days still getting used to everything
Are the teachers nice to you? They can be such assholes sometimes.
That’s great. You seem pretty shy. Are you sure you’re not having any trouble fitting in? I don’t want you to be a social outcast, especially if you plan on sticking around here.
not really but I do feel like I’m being watched all the time
“Oh yeah?” Jordyn says with an air of superiority. “Who’s watching you, loser?”
I’m getting used to it, it’s pretty chill
The girls snicker
Oh really? It seems like you’re having a hard time making friends though, aren’t you eating lunch alone?
yes I am but I’m working on it
Oh, you’re working on it, huh? What are you doing to work on it?
I’m just keeping to myself until people stop trying to change me
Jordyn raises an eyebrow. "Change you? Who's trying to change you?"
so far it's been good and I'm managing
Oh, that’s good. You seem to be handling it pretty well, you don’t seem to be struggling like the rest of the new kids. It’s pretty obvious that you’re the new kid though.
