The Foreign Student ~NovaHD

Chapter 2

"Here you go, Mr. Wilson, I believe his name is Aleksandr Marchant," The woman said, glancing twice at the paperwork making sure the name was said correctly. She handed him the basic info on accomplishments and then gave him a second paper that listed personal info.

Most of it was translated into broken english and James realized they gave credit that he only knew two weeks of Russian. It was going well, hard to interpret but that's what practice is for."If you want you can contact him and get to know him better his contact details are on the front," she added pointing at it to show James, James nodded eagerly as the assistant sent him off with a wave.

Arriving home and walking to his room he decides he might email Aleksandr just to break the ice for now. Using the email in the contact info he used his main email to write up a single simple message.

>> Hey, if you haven't heard already I was assigned to be your foreign friend and just kinda wanted to get to know you. -James Wilson

James wondered when Aleksandr would reply, he couldn't wait for him to reply. James was really curious about his new 'friend', and he wondered if they would become good ones. Reading the message over in his head he finally was content with it and sent it.

Deciding to take a nap instead of starting his homework, James stood up from his desk and body flopped onto his bed. Cuddling up to the white duvet he closed his eyes and fell into a comfortable sleep.

Waking up groggy and tired, he decided he was going to get up finally and continue attempting homework. Shutting his already open laptop, not noticing the notification that displayed on the front and clearing his desk for multiple assignments. Starting on his homework unwillingly, he knew he had to get it done to save his grades.

After a few classes of completed work, James got unamused quickly and lost motivation. Resulting in him searching the Internet for trash updates and unmeaningful posts. Opening up his laptop once again he noticed his email was already displayed when he opened it. And a few messages appeared unread, sifting through the spam and newsletters one caught his eye. Clicking and opening it he realized it was someone he was awaiting.

>> Hello James, how are you? I do recall hearing about you. If you want me to get back to you quicker and more efficiently my Skype contact is attached. -Aleksandr Marchant.

James gasped immediately adding him on Skype quickly thinking it through as hoping he isn't being 'overly friendly'. In minutes the name 'Aleksandr Marchant' popped up as online. James was surprised about how quickly he accepted his contact request.

Almost immediately, Aleks sent James a message.

Aleks: >> Hello

James: >> Hey
