 Pretty much ALL of you. Sardines ♥ BHB ♥ Dallie ♥ Grumpy ♥ MY SUN AND STARS ♥ i love julia
Igor was the first one in and she was glad to see him. He didn't seem very nervous and sometimes first years were the nervous, awkward ones. But this time, SHE was the nervous, awkward one. She bounced on her toes a little bit, fingers clasped in front of her. "You can just call me Natalie, if you want," she said to Igor. No need for formalities. It was cute, though.
The next to enter was Torii, who Natalie had said hello to at the feast. She did look nervous, but Natalie assumed it was because she was a new student and wanted to make a good first impression. "Hi Torii," Natalie offered with a smile and a bit of a wave, hoping that she could make her feel welcome.
Then came in Zach and Natalie had to make a quick decision on how to greet him. She maybe hadn't given him the best greeting when she saw him at the feast (but at least she said hello). So, when he came closer, she watched him, offered a smile and was about to say hello, when... he ignored her. Blatantly. Straight up blocked.
Her stomach sank. Her smile dropped. And then her blood boiled. And she had to try very hard not to go over and kick him in the shins. To make matters worse, Max seemed to have notice the whole thing and suddenly Natalie felt her tear ducts sting because - well, did you know? Natalie hated rejection. No matter who it came from.
Lifting her chin and sniffing in a bit of air, Natalie turned her head away from Zach and replied to Max, "You'll have to ask him."
Since she got a greeting from Patrick, Natalie shot him a quick smile and then stepped towards the food table to grab a plate because food made everything better and she would rather stuff her face than suffer through small talk.
"Everyone, dig in!" she said loudly to everyone as she dished up food onto her plate (she didn't want to be the only one eating here). |
