Talia slowly made her way out onto the playground. She liked to be in the classroom a bit more, learning lessons. At least there she could focus on listening to the teacher. Outside though, she had to deal with possible bullies and other classmates being mean to her.

At least there was always the sandbox! But to her surprise, someone was already there! Talia hesitated a bit. She hadn't talked to that freshling before, and the other could always not allow her to go into the sandbox, and then she would have nothing to do except pick at the grass! This was why she liked being in the classroom more!

She hesitantly moved over to the sandbox, just in case the other suddenly saw her and yelled at her. She eventually made it over, and looked worriedly at the sandbox, before trying to get the other freshling's attention. She coughed a bit, trying to find the words, before saying, "I uhm... can I play in the sandbox too?" She practically whispered the last words, afraid that the other would get angry with her, for even asking the question.
