"Inspiring."

NARRATIVE STORY The boy watches you carefully. He's a new kid at your school, only been there a week. You've been assigned to a group project together, and neither of you know how to start a conversation. He says suddenly, "You're really cool." It startles you, so you can't respond before he continues. "I mean, like... I'm new here right? I don’t know how to make friends or anything. But you're really nice, and it's helped me out. A lot. You're cool. Inspiring." He grins nervously at you but before you can respond, the bell rings and he rushes out of the room.
