What was wrong with him lately? It wasn't like she had even told him that she liked him or anything--it was all Anna's fault, he concluded, for putting the idea in his head which caused him to just run with it and now...this was happening.
Deciding he needed to chill out and just eat with the rest of his house, he noticed that Fyo fellow from Herbology sitting nearby, with a few other people. There was that red headed Zeke kid he recognized from the common room, and some other Slytherin girl he had never met before. Sitting down quietly next to Fyo and grabbing some food on his plate, he smiled. Why, oh why, was he still finding it hard to talk to people? He thought he had been doing so good!
"Hiya Fyo, and Zeke, and erm...hi," he finished awkwardly, turning to the Slytherin girl. "I'm Jack Fritzera, Gryffindor," he said, figuring it would be best to get out of this embarrassing entrance to a conversation by introducing himself.
"Hi, again, Jack," Zeke said with a grin. He remembered this kid from the common room, the one who liked astronomy (although he didn't want to be known for it), had a frog named Pluto, and was friends with Anna. "How've you been?" Jack looked a little... awkward would be the best word for it. Zeke wondered why. He seemed to be a perfectly nice guy, if a little shy.

It's not all it's cracked up to be. It's mostly boring all the time, though I suppose it would be different if I had had 'involved' parents. Still, I was home-schooled from when I was nine till I came hear two years ago, so contact with other kids my age was pretty nonexistent. She was still smiling, not wanting it to sound like a complaint or to put a damper on the mood.
"Well, it's a very pretty combination," Zeke said, then blushed, realizing that he'd just called her pretty out loud. "I was actually homeschooled, too. I only came here... Either last term or the term before. I can't really remember." he said, changing the subject. "I was never lonely though since all my siblings except my sister were still at home, anyway."
