Downhearted (COMPLETE)

Part 20

September 1, 2005

It was the first day of university, I was kind of nervous, Antonio had walked with me, when we got there, there was so many, they all looked so smart. "Well good luck, bye" he said and walked away.

Damn, I was really on my own now. I was trying to find my class, I have to admit, it was a really nice school and everyone looked so cool. I walked in the building, trying to find my class, I looked at my schedule, it said '1st period-206' I sighed, I'm guessing that's upstairs. I was walking up the stairs and saw a couple of girls standing there, "excuse me" I said in Italian almost forgetting everyone speaks English here, "what?" One of the girls said, then I realized they were the girls from the other day! "Oh I said excuse me Italian" I said, "hey I know you you're that girl that sounded like you don't speak English" one of the girls said, "I don't speak very well English" I said, "oh I'm sorry are we in your way?" The other girl asked, I didn't say anything and just started walking again, but she tripped me and I fell straight on my knees. "Oh that looks like it hurt" she said sarcastically. I just got up and kept walking.

When I walked in the class had already started, the room was dark and I hoped that no one would see me but the professor did, "well looks like someone's late" he said, "s-sorry" I said, "oh no need to be sorry" he said "what's your name?" "Cathalina Bianchi" I replied, "take your seat, Cathalina" he said. I sat down right next to a girl with long dark brown hair all the way down to her waist and blue eyes, "hey" she whispered "I'm Tiffany" she said, "I'm Cathalina" I replied.

After the class was over, I was gonna go and check out the library, but Tiffany came up to me, "hey Cathalina, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out?" She asked, was this it did I make my first friend?! "Oh yes I love to" I replied, and we started walking out, "where are you from? You have a cool accent" Tiffany said, "oh from Milan, Lombardy" I replied, "wow that's so cool!" She said excited "what's it like in Italy?" She asked, "oh Um it's Italy" I chuckled, "I've always wanted to go to Italy! It looks so cool!" She said happily, "oh but my boyfriend, I told him I see him" I said, "oh that's ok, maybe all 3 of us can hang out!" Tiffany said happily, "oh yes" I replied.

We walked to the entrance where Antonio was waiting for me, "Antonio!" I said happily and hugged him, Tiffany was kind of standing there awkwardly as we hugged, "oh sorry, Tiffany" I chuckled, "oh it's fine" she replied, "oh Antonio this is Tiffany, I met here in class" I said, "nice meet you, Tiffany" Antonio said, "I'm Antonio" "ooo are you also from Italy?" She asked as her eyes lit up with curiosity, "yes I came to stay with Cathy" Antonio replied, "omg you guys have to tell me the whole entire story of how you met later" Tiffany said.

"Aw childhood friends!" Tiffany said after we told her the whole story of how we met. We were in a restaurant right next to the university. "So what about you, Tiffany?" I asked, "oh well I'm kind of boring, I just grew up here in Providence" she replied, "that's not boring, America cool!" Antonio said, "it is cool" I said, "yeah but you guys are from Milan!" Tiffany replied, "Milan is boring, just a bunch of boring rich people" Antonio said, "yeah how was it growing up here!" I asked, "oh well um idk, my childhood was weird, I grew up with just my dad and my 5 siblings," Tiffany said, "I used to be really popular in school, but people didn't like that I was nice to the 'nerds' so they all stopped being friends with me" "people gross" i said, "just for being nice to people!" I said, Tiffany looked at me confused, "what did she just say?" She said.

Later

It was about 5pm, the sky was all colors of yellow, orange, red, and pink. "Oh well I live in a dorm a dorm at school so I guys I'll see you guys late!" Tiffany said as she walked in the entrance in the university, "bye Tiffany" I said and Tiffany turned around and waved.

As me and Antonio walked back to our house, we were holding hands "so Tiffany seems really nice" Antonio said, "yeah she's really cool" I replied, "she was the only person that was actually nice to me at that school" I said.
