School was about to start and Justin had only seen Emily a few times from a distance. He was embarrassed after the conversation they had the day of the pizza incident and didn't know what to say since she didn't know him in person.
He was hoping to continue avoiding her until he figured out what he wanted to say to make a better impression.
"Hey! Pizza Boy!" Emily jogged over, wearing her work uniform. "Have you been avoiding me?"
She wasn't wrong but how on earth had she come to that conclusion?! He could only stand and stare.
"Dude, relax. It's a joke. It's just surprising that I never see you since we're only a floor apart. What was your name, anyway? I'm Emily." She smiled and held her hand out for him to shake.
Petrified, he grabbed her hand and probably shook too hard. "Justin."
"Nice to meet you, Justin! Your name fits you better than Pizza Boy."
