Emylee jumped and nearly dropped her book. She slowly peeked her head over it. "Uh… hi?

"I'm Sacia," she said, waving a hand. "Like Sasha, but my parents were probably high when they named me, I don't know. Anyway, what's up?"
Liza heard some noise but ignored it and put her earbuds in while humming to her music.
Emylee put her book away and went to sit near Sacia. "I'm Emylee. Spelled E-m-y-l-e-e… for whatever reason… Don't know why they couldn't have just spelled it like a normal Emily…"
"Looks like our parents were both on crack when they named us," she bemoaned with a chagrined smile. "Am I allowed to say crack in a homeschool co-op? I wouldn't be surprised if I got in trouble on the first day."
Aleena walked in “um hi.” She said looking up
Emylee laughed. "I don't know. There don't seem to be any teachers, anyway."
Emylee spun her head around and waved
"Hi," Sacia said to the newcomer, smiling.
Liza now decided to interact with others now that more people were inside. She put her earbuds and joined their conversations.
"Hi," Liza said feeling slightly awkward because she didn't know how to do this. "I'm Liza" She figured introducing herself would be a nice start.
Emylee smiled. "I'm Emylee… I guess you can call me Emy, though."
"Hi," Sacia said to the newcomer, smiling.
“I’m Aleena and I have many nicknames.” She smiled
"Like what?"
"Ally. Leena. Lee. Al." Sacia listed off as many as she could think of.
"Leen?"
"Like what?" Liza asked feeling intrigued. She didn't know how the name Aleena could have many nicknames.
“Well my dad calls me peanut because when I was a kid, I loved peanuts. Mum calls me Fawn, and my friends call me many names based on my name. I was once called Sady the clown because my last name has the word sad in it.” She laughed
Sacia laughed, "Wow, that is a lot. I think I'll call you Ally, though."
"I think I'm good just calling you Aleena." Emy eyed her book book in the corner.She really should have brought it with her.
“I’m fine with that! So, any of you like books?” She asked shyly
Emy raised her hand then quickly put it back down "Uh… yeah. Books. Books are cool."
“Really?! Which ones are your favourite?” She asked
"Uh… anything fantasy, really. Well, especially Mistborn. I haven't really finished it,but it's really good. I'm on the fourth book right now."
"I'm not a huge fan of books," Sacia admitted, "although I read to my grandma sometimes."
"Can she not read on her own? If you don't mind me asking, of course."
"Not really." She shrugged, leaning back in her chair. "She's really old, and mostly blind. She prefers if I read to her."
"Ah." Emy stayed silent for a moment, then remembered something. "Cookies! I brought cookies!"She reached into her backpack to retrieve a bag of chocolate chip cookies and a bad of saltines. "I brought saltines in case someone didn't want cookies. But you can have both if you want."
Liza still felt weird because there was nothing else to listen to and she felt like she was eavesdropping on their conversation. She still didn't know how to do this, how to "make friends". So she just stayed back and listened.
Emy awkwardly held up the two bags. Everyone was just sort of… staring at her
