V3 ch5 (First day of school)

Noah wasn't bothered by her silence. I was also a quiet student so it wouldn't be right for us to give her a hard time. 

Mrs. Langford started class after the final bell rang. It was an easy first day based on going over the syllabus and introducing ourselves to the class. She let us stand where we sat and just say our name and a little about ourselves. 

"Hey! I'm Noah and I like to play baseball."

"My name is Kaylee and I'm on the softball team."

When it came to me, I stuttered a little bit, feeling my anxiety rise. "I am, I mean, my name is Jake." Mrs. Langford nodded encouragingly. "Uh, and I play baseball too." I sat back down in a hurry. 

Cassie had to go next. She stood up and said softly, "I'm Cassie. I'm part of the yearbook committee." She sat back down and focused on the planner that she had in front of her.
