"My name's Tobias," he replied, feeding the coins into the turnstile one by one until ten had been pushed in. "Tobias Tempus." Yeah, yeah. Weird name. Tobias passed through the barrier and turned to face the other boy. He realised this was the part where he needed to do the handshake part of introductions, and decided it was best to wait. "What's yours?"
Thank him. Forrest didn't even thank him.
"Thank you, by the way," he hurried to say with a grateful smile as he placed the coins inside the turnstile to join him.
"I'm Forrest Charlton." Handshaking? He didn't even remember that and paused only to wait for Tobias to keep walking as he zipped his bag back. He
would eat the dinner with him, right? Would it be too inconfident to ask whether he was interrupting his plans or anything?
