Introductions are easily the worst part of every first class. As a little kid, you all sit in a circle and give names and facts about yourself. As a new kid into junior year, you all sit in a circle and give names and facts about yourself. It's awful. On the bright side, some of these kids were actually remotely interesting.
"Hey," a tall boy with shaggy black hair offered. "I'm Bryan, I'm on the lacrosse team and I knew the bus driver who was killed last year." Death, morbidness, poison, coyote attacks, mountain lion attacks, wolf attacks, houses being burned to the crisp seven years ago! Actually quite interesting.
The blond girl next to him sniffed disdainfully, tossing her hair over her shoulder. "Lydia Martin, Deputy Parrish at the station is convinced I am psychic along with Meredith at Eichen House while I prefer the term intuitionist and I throw the best parties in Beacon Hills." Psychic. Intuitionist. Parties. Absently, I wondered when the next party would be. "Oh, and my IQ is over 170. Don't compete with me."
I mentally snorted at the last part, allowing my own intro to slip past my teeth. "Cody, transferred here from Liberty High in the town over, about ready to drop dead." Practiced and perfect!
The boy to my left snorted as though I'd said something funny. His intro was next. "Scott McCall, I'm the captain of the lacrosse team, or at least I was after last season since Coach is going for open tryouts this year. That boarding school outside town, Devenford Prep, has convinced themselves that I turn into a wolf on the field if I get angry enough which I think is the funniest thing in the world. My best bud is Stiles," he clapped said boy on the back, "and his intro is next! Sadly."
This boy had dark brown hair and moles scattered across his face. "Hi I'm Stiles Stilinski, last term I was dying of dementia with approximately six months to live out life in agonizing pain and I no longer have dementia. Please note this makes me a freak of nature as you never stop having dementia. It kills you. I'm awesome!" Well, some more interesting than others.
