On noticing the lone student standing on the dock, Tyr raised a hand and waved him over, "Over here! Sit with us!"

Seeing a boy that was alone she quickly made her way over to him, figuring that rather than being alone they might as well go together. Besides it gave her a chance to meet another person that was going to be in her year! That was exciting enough!
"Hi... um do you mind if I go in a boat with you?" she asked, cocking her head to the side as she sent the boy a smile, her fingers crossed behind her back. It would just be way too awkward for her if he said no!
See, Forrest had always admired people that were outgoing. He had never been one, as can be seen now with his hesitation to whether get on one. He wanted to join a group already formed, but it was his shyness at work and he made his way towards one of the empty boats...
...and then he heard someone calling him over. He looked up and smiled at the boy. But before he could say something, another girl asked him whether he wanted to ride with her--and that boy's boat had already three students, so it'd be rude to the girl if he went with them. He could do without broken hearts, thank you.
"Yes of course--I mean, I don't mind--we can go in the same boat," he rambled and blushed lightly at his idiocy. Hopefully, the dark would cover his burning ears. As he waited for her to get on first (manners--and he'd help her too if she tripped over) he searched for the boy that called him over.
"Thanks mate, we've found a boat," he said with a liiiiitle tremble in his voice--he wouldn't HATE him for not riding with them,
right?!
