Attempting to sound thankful, though it came out as a flat tone she said, "Thank you." Truthfully, the only other person her age she had spoken with in recent years was another socially awkward teen. That hadn't taught her much about social conventions and whatnot, but her parents had drilled some form of manners into her, and it would be down right rude to have not said anything.

'Ah, the joys of school life.' she thought, figuring that it would be best to keep her thoughts private in crowded rooms such as this. 'Over think everything and chase a potential conversation partner away.'
