[he has probably taken it off by now! and he's pausing to look down at his shirt, assuming he's spilled something on himself accidentally. when he doesn't notice anything out of the ordinary:]

...Um, do I have a stain I'm missing or something?

[it takes him a second to realize what he means, and then, in a move that will definitely make this worse:]

Oh - the pins? Which one, the best one or the smart one?

[i'm also sorry]

Yeah, Rin gave it to me...

[that is very far down the list of things he expected, so he just pauses for a long moment, surprised.]

I - what? I'm not, don't say that.

You did really cool stuff, too, though! You said you were top of your class, right? And you have a really cool job!

If they didn't like you because they were jealous, I think that reflects on them, not you...

[he pauses for a moment, uncomfortable]

Come on, I bet people like you plenty! Nobody here has told you they don't, right?

[he hesitates for a moment, but...]

Hey - you said your last thing only lasted about two weeks, right? Mine was longer, but... I still only spent about that amount of time with the people there. So I definitely get feeling like you don't know the people around you that well. I bet everyone else here would like the chance to get to know you, though! You should at least give yourself that much credit.

Of course I do! Most people here are really friendly. You've just gotta put yourself out there!

[sympathetic:]

You've really had a tough time with people before all this, huh...

I don't want to assume, but... It kind of seems like it. I mean, if it hadn't happened before, I'm not sure why you'd think people don't like you or that they're always talking behind your back.

...Okay, you lost me there.
