As soon as he sat down, Tim was approached by a tall, dark haired girl. At first, the girl looked serious and intimidating, like she was about to scold him for doing something wrong. This did not help to calm the boy's nerves. [i]Oh no, I just got here, and I'm already getting into trouble...[/i] but after a few moments, the girl's expression softened, and Tim was relieved. She smiled, and extended her hand, and Tim got up and politely shook it. The girl introduced herself, and explained that she was the student council president. Her tone was serious and formal, but not intimidating. 

"Oh, um... uh..." Tim muttered as he struggled to come up with something to say, He was grateful that someone had spoken to him, hadn't expected this to happen so soon. It was his first day of school in this new place, and the student council president was already talking to him. What was he supposed talk about? If he said anything about himself, he'd probably fumble the words or something, and she'd probably think he was some sort of weirdo. The last thing he wanted was to start the school year off with a bad first impression.

As he was thinking, he noticed her studying him, which served to unnerve the boy. Thankfully, it didn't last too long, and Tim didn't need to explain anything. Suzu managed to figure out on her own that he was a new student. The boy was relieved, and at the same time, a little frustrated that he hadn't thought to explain that he was an exchange student. he continued speaking, her tone becoming more casual. "Either way you don't need to hide back here, its a good time to get familiar with your peers. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask, be it for me, the students or the teachers.” 

Tim started wringing his hands nervously, and kept his gaze down. He heard that kind of advice several times from well meaning people in the past, and it did nothing to soothe his fears. [i]Yes I do have to hide back here...[/i] The boy thought. [i]I'm just going to mess something up, and then no one is going to let me live it down. Like always...[/i] There was a moment of awkward silence as Tim tried to figure out some sort of reply. It was only after thinking of these things, that he realized that he forgot to give his name. [i]Great, now she probably thinks I'm rude.[/i] He put his hands in his pockets, and started shuffling his weight from one foot to the other. "Um... uh... I-I-I'm... Tim..." He murmured slightly above his breath. He figured after the fact that he probably should have said something else, to keep the conversation going, but it was already hard enough just to say his own name. It just wasn't worth the struggle.
