Dear Martell,
conversation is an art. most strangers have nothing to chat about
when they first met. it is rather common. please do not be too
disturbed by it.
perhaps you can start by chatting about your school, cca, hobbies,
etc. these are the very common things that strangers talk about.
you do not need to adhere strictly to these topics. you can talk
about others. the key is to find topics for the both of you to
carry on talking. you are a smart boy. i'm sure you can do
it.
anyway, uncle brat wishes you the best of luck in your
love...erm...social life
