Cole quietly opened the door to the first-period classroom, wincing at his lateness. He was late to his first day school... but it was all for good reason. "I... apologize for my tardiness," Cole said hesitantly, pulling out a doctor's note. "Doctor's appointment. I'm... Cole. Bug types and all that."
After being told he could just place it on the teacher's (Mr. Baker, if he remembered right, he felt as if he'd been told this already) desk, he briefly surveyed the room, electing to sit in the middle row, on the side closest to the door. He had to mentally prepare himself to start being a bit... bolder. A bit more... intense? Someone who could handle this. Maybe he'd ask someone to rival him? Or would that be too upfront? Stupid first days, they always made him more than nervous in the presence of new people... Hopefully he'd relax a bit as time went on, but for now, he was tense. He was validly late, but this was a horrible first impression to make, not to mention these were all people he barely knew about. He just had to shake it off and be entirely, boldly himself at some point, right?
