Toby smiled at Lou, only for a moment, before he returned to looking at his hands. Toby was really proud of himself, it took a lot for him to speak out, and he felt like he was gonna cry, even though it was over. Either way, he was still proud, and he was not going to cry in front of everyone...
Toby let out a breath. He cleared his throat, then spoke up.
"hi uh. Im T-Tobias, T-Toby for short. I go b-by he/him. T-thanks." He said, mumbling the thanks, but overall, he was proud for keeping his voice loud enough to be audible. His hands were shaking slightly, and he didn't dare to look...
Toby played with his sweater sleeve quietly. He listened carefully as J told everyone the rules and as Tess and Lou introduced themselves. He bit the inside of his cheek anxiously. Nothing about this was going to be fun for Toby. Not speaking out loud to people he had never spoken to before. As...
Hello, I apologize for not replying to this forum, is the spot for scaredy cat still open? If not, I completely understand. I've been busy with other things haha.
"Hey Riley, you alright?" Toby asked, noticing her discomfort. He was beginning to get more comfortable around these people. Toby bit the inside of his cheek.
@Fazy
Toby smiled. "It wasn't you, there was just so much happening, I just got a bit freaked out. I don't do well talking to more than one person." He said, chuckling slightly.
@Iskolde
Toby walked up slowly. Biting the inside of his cheek.
"uh, s-sorry about earlier. I uh- got a little scared." He muttered, playing with his sweater sleeve.
@Fazy @Iskolde @Jun1p
Toby was very aware of the new presence, and he was panicking. He heart was beating fast.
"I'll be back." He whispered, walking off quickly. He was shaking slightly. Too many people. Too much interaction. Toby went back to the spot where he had met Riley, seeing as he was going to claim it as...
Toby looked at his feet, his anxiety making it nearly impossible for him to even consider making accidental eye-contact.
He was so awkward. Why was he so awkward?
But, he followed Riley, not wanting to be alone. He was only thinking about the negatives, his mother would have scolded him for...
"s-sure." He stuttered. He took a deep breath, continuing to play with his sleeve.
"It's gonna be okay." He mumbled to himself, though, it didn't exactly help him.
@Fazy
Toby shrugged. "You're my first friend in a while, talking to people isn't exactly my forte." He chuckled nervously. His anxiety was getting to him again, and he began to play with the sleeve of his sweater.
Toby looked over everyone, his palms sweating.
@Fazy
Toby smiled momentarily, then stood up. He looked back at the lake again, staring at it for just a second as he waited for Riley to get up as well.
@Fazy
Toby hugged his knees. He looked at Riley.
"Do you think we should head back to find everyone? Or.. not. I doubt anyone cares that i'm gone." He mumbled the last part to himself. He then groaned and grabbed a fistful of his hair.
"Stop thinking like that." he hissed to himself. He probably...
