"This room is so... different, I didn't like it but we kept it," Tatyana says to me stroking the walls. She's only a year younger than Leon and I so we connected right away. Well, at first it was our rooms then a friendship. Tatyana had long brown hair, similar to the color I dyed mine to. Her hair was straight though and mine was curly. We almost looked like sisters if it weren't for the fact she looked and sounded Russian and I was far from that. Tatyana also has braces.
"School starts in two days so we can go to the mall tomorrow and I can introduce you to my friends," she says to me breaking our silence.
"That's sounds fun. I think starting school knowing some people will be fun, but I'm sure their all in your year though," I reply to her. She lights up when I mention that.
"Actually my friend, Bentley, is a senior like you. He's cool and might have some classes with you, bring your schedule tomorrow and you can compare it with him." She says excitedly.
"Oh well that's good to know there is someone in my year that'll know," I say trying to match her excitement.
"I think you'll like him, Brit, he's actually kinda cute too," Tatyana giggles.
--------------------
After dinner we head to our rooms, instead of his own Leon comes to mine to talk.
"So what are doing tomorrow before we go to school?" Leon asks me. I pause and shrug but then remember what I was going to do.
"I'm going to the mall with Tatyana," I say with a face trying to act cool.
"I wouldn't strike you as a mall drifter, Brit," he says to me jokingly, "but then again you will be trying out for cheerleading so...."
"Hey are you stereotyping me?" I say acting hurt, "I didn't think you were like that!" I jokingly slap my chest and shake my head, "Than that's just cruel."
"Hahaha very funny. What are you two doing anyways?" he says ditting on a chair in the corner of the room, "just shopping or doing a montage where you try on dresses and clap for each other?"
"Umm neither, she's introducing me to her friends and I'm comparing my schedule with one of them," I reply to him.
"So what's this friend's name? Do you know? I bet it's really girly and cliche like Amanda or Carley or something."
"His name is Bentley actually, he's the only senior out of her group of friends."
"Creepy"
"His sister Bailey is in the group too and he's also buds with her boyfriend, Zack."
"Don't really care about that."
"Then why'd you ask?"
"Idk"
