Anxiety Closed

As I walked into the Great Hall, my eyes were drawn to the group of popular 1st year Gryffindors. I had seen them a couple of times beforehand in smaller groups, but never all as one big group. All I could hear was chattering, yelling and laughing. I felt overwhelmed. I could hear my heart pounding out of my chest, with my brain frantically running around in circles. I look over in that direction only to see someone staring at me. I don't know if it was a quick glance, a passing look, or a stare down, but OMG it felt like that moment dragged on forever. I look down at my feet flustered and half embarrassed. I sit down at the table furthest away from the noise possible. I looked around, trying to find someone I knew so I didn't look like a complete loner, but no one was there. quickly I pulled out the homework I had received in charms early that day, writing down the answers in small, neat handwriting. With my quill in one hand, while the other tapping rhythmically on my thigh and my leg bouncing up and down off the ground. My body was going into shutdown. My head internally shouting at me turning into an ongoing headache, my heart rate intensifies, my face red and my breathing heavy and fast pace. Everything was turning into a natural disaster. I could feel eyes staring like they were lasers peeling off my bare skin. I kept my head down low, so nobody saw the tears that filled my eyes.
