Nathan took a seat down at a chair, directly in front of the girl with purple hair. He had seen her, waving at him as he had been speaking. She seemed friendly enough. He sat down, and as the teacher passed by him to go to the back of the class he turned his seat sideways, and turned his seat sideways to the right, and turned his head to the right as well so that he was looking to the back of the class.

" So, what's you're name? I'm Darlene by the way" the girl sat next to the purple haired girl, the one who was either mixed race or just light skinned asked him.
“ Darlene? That’s a nice name. Can’t say it’s a name I’ve ever heard before. I’m Nathan, nice to meet you.” He said, smiling back at Darlene.  “ And what’s your name then? Or can I just call you Barney the dinosaur?” He said as he turned his head to the other girl, making an obvious joke about her purple hair. He quickly regretted it as he didn’t want her to feel insulted.

“ I’m sorry, please don’t take that the wrong way. I only meant it as a joke. It looks really nice. Very unique.” He said, in an attempt to pull his foot out of his mouth. Nathan was a joker at heart, but he didn’t know these people yet, and he had no idea what they would or wouldn’t take offence at.
