I met him by chance, I was standing to cross the road and go to the train station to start the first days of my studies, but this day was completely different from the rest of the days when I saw him, or in short when I saw his smile or eyes that made me feel like I was really different from others, But before I start talking about that night, I am still young and I live alone in a small apartment with a girl called 'Natasha' and she is several years older than me, I feel like she is my mother sometimes she's very afraid of something happens to me, I remember the first time I came to the apartment and she was making cakes, it smelled full of chocolate, She started to welcome and greet and look at me for several minutes and then started talking: Do you want cakes? I made it for you" I tasted the cake before I knocked on the door of the apartment, I mean it smelled nice 'She laughed and then said: Nobody told me about this before, I feel like I'm arrogant now, but tell me what your name is? "I quietly put the plate on the table and then I said: Sofia, I came here to start my studies in learning English," then Natasha said: What are your feelings when you came here? Is this the first time?" then I said: Yes, it is the first time but I learned English language from a young age, I listened to songs and read short phrases or articles, but I came here to learn more and to know the customs and traditions of this wonderful country, Oh I feel I am talking a lot" Natasha put her hands on my shoulder and said: No Worries, I will help you as much as possible, I have not traveled abroad before but fortunately you will stay here in this small apartment and we will cooperate together, as you know I only have two rooms, and this kitchen is in front of you, and that is the bathroom, and when the school day begins I must go with you to know the road, but now I must go to see my friend, it's your apartment, bye bye!" Natasha closed the door, hurrying up, I stood quietly and I looked left and right looking in the apartment, I saw an interesting picture of Natasha, she was standing with a young man but all I was looking at was her appearance in that picture, I took the picture and I looked up close then I put it directly and went to the room, I know that the other room for Natasha was already her room, I took a look inside, the room was full of stickers on the wall, it was not posters of celebrities or singers, but flowers, trees, cute animals, closed the door of the room and went to see my room, I put my bag on the bed and looked at the window that overlooks a street full of markets and people's voices. I sat on the bed and subconsciously started to think about my family, will I really come back with that certificate so everyone can be happy with it or will I return disappointed! I put my head on the pillow and I didn't know that I would go into a deep sleep until Natasha came back with a lot of bags and talked with someone else, a rough and very close voice, I woke up quickly and went to the living room on my fingertoes and looked at her as she was saying goodbye to the young man with loud laughter, then closed the door: Hello Sophia, you were sleeping? I said: Yes, I was asleep, but I heard a strange sound that I thought was a thief." Natasha laughed and said: It wasn't a thief, it was Nate, Nathan, he's a business friend but sometimes we go out to buy some things from the market together, but tell me why did you think he was a thief cause this sounds funny?" I said: I am sorry, the sound was a little bit terrifying to me, it does not matter maybe because I feel tired." She said: I understand that, and that's why I brought dinner only for two, do you like Chinese food? I know you love it, I love this restaurant so much, This girl makes a lot of Chinese food and she has skills in making food.. do you make food? Can you cook" Not much, I just help my mother sometimes but I have never tried to start killing onions and putting spices and all this things." She laughed and said: killing onions? Do you mean chopping it? I nodded quickly with a shame and shyness, It was a long night.. I learned a lot about Natasha from the first day in the apartment, It was not easy for that shyness to go away from me but I felt comfortable and happy, at least we have some things in common.
