Class 2-C :|: ~8:30 :|: April 2
Kana was taken in by Jon's seemingly warm tone and nodded back before taking her seat just as the teacher walks in.
The cue for introductions was meant to be a bit tense yet anxious as you got to know who you'd be spending the year with. Instead, it was cut with a knife when another student abruptly introduced themselves and hinted for others to do the same.
Some of the other introductions were not as short and brief, which Kana did not mind. It gave her some insight on who best it would be to make friends with. There wasn't really any order so to say, so when the students near her gave their introductions, she figure that she will go next.
Kana stood up and took a small bow before saying,
"Good to meet you all, my name is Nishikori Kana, I enjoy music and playing tennis. I’m also new to this area and open to making new friends. As long as as you treat me with respect I shall do the same for you, but I hope we can all get along.” After her small introduction, she remembers some of her other classmate’s words. Some more distant and cold than others. And although she can see how minimal and unnecessary these icebreakers are, nevertheless your first words spoken here can either fade to the background or leave an impression on how people will view you the rest of the year (unless you prove them otherwise).
