A Story A Day. Story 21 of 365: Friendship.

Amy was nervous, she didn't know anyone and she was really bad at talking to people. How was she supposed to behave? She sat on a chair, fidgeting, darting looks at the others, both hoping and fearing that one would approach her. She knew it was everyone's first day, but she couldn't understand that all of them where as nervous as she was. 

Will saw her sitting on her own and recognized the anxiety signs. He was a bit uneasy too, but he decided to approach that small girl who seemed about to faint. He asked her if he could sit next to her and she nervously replied him to take the seat. Will softly started asking her questions and in no time she was laughing and joking with him. 

When Amy was going back home, a thought struck her. She had made a friend. And it hadn't been traumatic or stressful. Maybe, she was ready to get outside her shell.
