The main difference between my jokes and the jokes my classmates liked to do, is that their jokes tended to be at the cost of others, while my jokes are usually about taking things literally (like one time, they said "don't move, I'll be right back", and in response, I stayed still as a statue until they got the joke, and laughed), or simply referencing previous events, as a sort of inside joke (by the way, I've always thought that inside jokes are pretty much the real-life counterpart of memes)

Yeah, I've seen it happen more than once. There was this one time when one of my classmates simply stopped showing up, and we all wondered what had happened with him. I never knew the end of that story.

But even more often, I've seen a student arrive midway in a school year. A couple of times we'd already be almost halfway through the school year, and suddenly, boom! A new student showed up. By the way, if by chance you're an introvert like me and have trouble talking to classmates that have already formed their own groups, here's a tip from me: try to go and talk to the new students. Most of the time, new students will be shy or silent the first few days, and since they haven't formed their friend groups in class yet, it's much easier to go talk to them. They'll appreciate that someone is trying to give them a friendly welcome, and you can even make a new friend that way.
