Lori nodded shyly, avoiding the girls eyes.  She hated having to talk to strangers like this... of course, from now on, everyone was going to be a stranger.  She just was never good at knowing what to say.  It always came out sideways, either sounding dumb or a little tart no matter how she tried.  And here, standing in this massive building, she was feeling more out of place then usual.  She straightened her shoulders, metaphorically at least, still avoiding eye contact.<br/><br/>"Yeah.  New here too.  First day...  Ummm... Big place."<em>That was lame.  Great.  I sound like a total dweeb.</em>she could feel herself blushing.
