Aiden looked up over his bear and saw a pair of boys (Jacoby and Luca) looking at him. The boys smiled at him, and nervously the little Hufflepuff raised his hand in a small quick wave. He wished he was brave enough to go talk to them but now it was just all too MUCH. He was overwhelmed and he had never been around so many other kids at the same time before and it was just all scary and what would he even SAY?
Then another boy (Jude) was looking at him but this was an OLDER boy. Even though he was big though, he still seemed nice when he smiled. He told Aiden he was gonna be ok. Aiden hoped he was right but he thought maybe he might be wrong.
"I-I....H-hi." Aiden squeaked, covering his mouth with his hand. He couldn't speak! He just nodded shakily wishing he knew how to talk to people or like he could just disappear back to home. |
