As more students began flooding in Nathan recognized each of them. Even though he wasn't one to make waves or be in the spotlight, normally at least, he had always been good at observing others and was typically aware of his surroundings; social anxiety and cynicism came with their perks after all it seems. Every student there was familiar yet unknown to him and despite trying not to Nathan couldn't help but feel as though he was surrounded by strangers. Professor Everose had referred to them as his "new team", something that still hadn't really set in. He wondered exactly what that meant and what all today would entail, but mostly he hoped that he didn't somehow end up screwing everything up or looking like a complete idiot for the millionth time in his life. This was an opportunity for him to be anyone that he wanted to be and so he began wondering why the hell he was being the same old thing that he had always been. 'Not today... Not anymore'. He thought to himself before doing something that he knew he would regret. 

"Hey everyone." He spoke awkwardly in an almost too quiet voice. "I guess we're supposed to be a team now. My uh...my name is Nathan and I look forward to, uh, getting to know all of you guys?". It was a question. It wasn't meant to be a question but it sure came out like one. 'Oh God why did I say it like that?' He pondered internally while forcing an awkward smile.
