Justin could not believe that he was really in high school. It is not as if he had never been in the building before. The previous year, he and his classmates went on a tour of the high school. Their teacher thought that knowing what the school was like would help them adjust to the change.
Justin did not have any friends at his middle school. Because the other kids never saw him talking to anybody, they thought he was strange. Because they assumed there was something wrong with him, they never talked to him.
Needless to say, they were all shocked when, on the day of the tour, high school kids began saying hello to Justin and screaming his name across the halls. They soon found out that Justin had lots of friends, all of whom went to high school.
From that day forward, Justin’s classmates looked at him differently. Not only did they want to talk to him, but they asked him for advice on getting along with the older kids. As he walked down the halls on his first official day of high school, he radiated confidence. He looked forward not only to the rest of the day, but to the next four years.

Which of the following best describes why Justin's classmates do not talk to him before the tour of the high school?

A. Justin was always doing or saying strange things to them.
B. They assumed he was weird because he was always alone.
C. They did not like the fact that all his friends were older kids.
D. Justin told his classmates that he did not need any friends.
