a new guy joined our class. At first I didn’t like him at all. He came across as a super arrogant like he thought he was better than everyone else. However, he was always interacting people, making sarcastic comments, jokes, and honestly he was just kind of salty all We had to work on a group project together and I wasn’t happy about it. I was sure he was going to be annoying and difficult. Nevertheless, something surprising happened. While we were working, he actually listened to my ideas and even helped me when I got stuck. I was shocked. He was way more chill than I thought. We started to jerk it around and we just clicked and I started to love him a lot. I didn’t expect that he is someone like Honey, we can say. Turns out he wasn’t arrogant, he was just nervous and didn’t know who to fit in. After the project we started hanging out more and he became one of my closest friends. The Zepold experience told me not to judge people too fast. First impression can be totally wrong.

A new guy joined our class. At first, I didn't like him at all. He came across as super arrogant, like he thought he was better than everyone else. However, he was always interacting with people, making sarcastic comments and jokes, and honestly, he was just kind of salty all the time. We had to work on a group project together, and I wasn't happy about it. I was sure he was going to be annoying and difficult. Nevertheless, something surprising happened. While we were working, he actually listened to my ideas and even helped me when I got stuck. I was shocked. He was way more chill than I thought. We started to joke around, and we just clicked, and I started to like him a lot. I didn't expect that he was someone like Honey, we can say. It turns out he wasn't arrogant; he was just nervous and didn't know how to fit in. After the project, we started hanging out more, and he became one of my closest friends. The whole experience taught me not to judge people too fast. First impressions can be totally wrong.
