The girl said with a chuckle while the other new guy took a seat and introduced himself. Despite the laughter, the girl looked angry for some reason that Tim couldn't figure out. He frowned, and assumed he must have done something wrong that he wasn't aware of... again. [i]Uh-oh... It's only noon, and I've already upset someone...[/i] The boy didn't spend too much time thinking about it. He had to say his name before there was a long awkward silence. "Um... I'm Tim..."

They were acquaintances at best, but he didn't want to sound rude by saying no outright. He started feeling flustered trying to come up with an answer. He started stuttering again, wringing his hands, and avoided making eye contact with anyone. "Um... well... uh... I dunno... um... I mean... we just met... but... um... eh?!"
