Sarah jumped a little when a boy suddenly dropped down next to her, introduced himself and dove into the trailmix.

She smiled at the girl and said [color=92278f] "Thanks, I'm sure that'll come in handy later!" [/color] Before Eric could take another handful, she reached into the bag and accepted some goodies. [color=92278f] I'm Sarah by the way. These fights look intense! Good thing the teachers are here to make sure we don't get too messed up on our first days, right? [/color] She knew she sounded nervous, but Sarah wasn't the type to pretend to be something she was not. She was excited to be here, but nervous at the same time because she wasn't sure what she should expect.

Sarah glanced at the two kids who had just had their first fight while munching on her trailmix. They didn't look much worse for wear, which made her feel a little better. Fighting here was going to be hard, but at least she'd survive. In a sudden surge of understanding and sympathy, she called out [b][color=92278f] "Go guys! You got this!" [/color][/b] to the next couple that had been called into the arena. She smiled at Eric, and the girl with the cool hair, and added in a softer voice [color=92278f] "These are good, thanks." [/color] She suddenly realised she still didn't know the girl's name and added [color=92278f] "What's your name? I can't keep referring to you as 'the girl with the cool hair' forever, can I?" [/color] She blushed and decided to put another few pieces of trailmix in her mouth to stop her from spouting more silly stuff.
