This morning marks the first day of school after the long break, and you’re now in 8th grade. You overslept and arrived five minutes late, rushing into the classroom. "Sorry, Ms., I'm late," you said. "Hmm... since it's the first day, I'll let it slide, but don't be late again," Ms. Anggi reminded you. "Yes, Ms., I'm sorry. Where should I sit?" you asked. "Hmm... over there, right next to that spot," the teacher said, pointing to a seat in the front corner by the window. A rather shy new student was sitting next to you, and your friend on the other side whispered, "Hey, try striking up a conversation with him!"
