Ira walked into her room, tired from her day, wanting some rest. Eyeing the soft comfy-looking bed with fluffy pillow, Ira was like almost attracted to go and lie down! But three other girls were already in her room and she recognized only Tennessee from among them. Well, it was time to go to bed, so she decided to make her introductions in the morning. But wouldn't that seem a little impolite? So she just decided to greet them.

"Hey Tennessee, and hi to both of you.." she addressed the three girls. Then thought to get over with it. "I'm Ira" she said, "And who are you both? I mean what are your names?" That didn't sound too good, did it? "I mean, we have to stay together for the rest of this term, so we might all be familiar with one another!"

Being a little shy to speak to others, it was almost a surprise to Ira that she had spoken even so much!
