She had to remember this wasn't Atlus; students at Beacon were free to be jovial and chat with each other. Everything at Atlus was so strict and rigid, Yue actually felt a bit tired how just how carefree Beacon was. But then again, without teachers and staff constantly maintaining discipline, perhaps now Yue needed to grow her own backbone now. She had debated taking out one of her books and reading quietly when she overheard a few girls talking nearby. They seemed to be new students, just like Yue. While Yue has been at Beacon a few days prior, she was still very much unfamiliar with Beacon and it's approach to everything. Doesn't help she just dropped in the middle of the school year. Yue was content on just listening to the girls and reading her book, flipping between the two whenever Yue heard something interesting. She wanted to go and talk to them but part of her thought it would be incredibly rude to just barge in on their conversation. Her maidly duties taught her to remain in the background until needed, and she didn't think these girls needed her. Though Yue herself wanted to talk to them. This conflict in her mind made Yue remember back to what her parents had told her: she was to attend Beacon in order to learn and understand how to interact outside her usual sphere of duty. Or in other words, be a normal girl. Admittedly she thought this was a bit unfair considering the lifestyle she was raised with, but she wasn't going to let this chance slip away. So of course before Yue got up to talk to the two new girls they moved onto another ground of three, forming and even larger group. And unlike Yue, she knew that the three that the two new girls joined were regular students. This made Yue visibly gulp, a bit of hesitation touching her. She thought she could connected with the two girls thanks to their shared inexperience, but now trying to act chummy with regular students too? But Yue swallowed her fears. She wasn't going to make friends or improve if she kept letting fear and uncertainty get in her way. A Maid does not fear a mess, no matter how big it is. Putting her things in a neat pile, Yue walked down to the group of five. [color=ffe4c4][i]"Confidence Yue. Confidence is key."[/i][/color] Yue arrived holding her books close to her chest. It was the moment of truth. All she had to do was open her mouth and ask. What's the worse that could happen? [color=ffe4c4]"Um..."[/color] Yue could choke, for starters. [color=ffe4c4]"Hello, my name is..."[/color] Yue could also be ignored. [color=ffe4c4]"Gaun Yue. But you can call me Yue."[/color] And she could simply fail. [color=ffe4c4]"Do you terribly mind if I... Sit here?"[/color] Yue reached out and held onto a chair nearby the group. Somehow this all felt so forced to Yue. Taking a deep breath, she tried to compose herself for just a moment, to set a better impression of herself. [color=ffe4c4]"I'm a fairly new student and... I'd like to talk to you all. You all seem... No. You're all very interesting. And I'd like it if we could be friends."[/color] Plain and simple. Not very elegant, but Yue will work on that.
