[i]"Hello there. You must be Tyler, am I right?"[/i]

Tyler instinctively flinched away when he felt someone tap his shoulder. He hadn't noticed the red-headed girl approach him, so he was caught off guard when she spoke. He shifted his body so that he was facing her instead of the window. Though he wasn't sure what to make of her just yet, she seemed to be nervous as well. Tyler tentatively smiled at her and took the lollipop out of his mouth. [b]"Mhm. You're Maiko?"[/b] Just talking to someone new was enough to stain his cheeks with a pink blush. Tyler spun the lollipop stick between his thumb and forefinger and glanced down at his hands.
