3rd person POV
The sun shined through the window of the new forehand exchanged student. He was from Russia. But his family choose to move to a more safer place in America. His alarm clock went off as he woke from his sleep. He sits up slowly and rubs his eyes. "Где я." (Where am I). He looks around and remembers moved from the comfy town of St. Petersburg to San Francisco California. He doesn't think much yet due to him only seeing the airport and the drive to his house of the town. So he was still scared. He gets off his bed and grabs clean clothes. Which includes a blue and white striped shirt. Black ripped jeans. And black boxers. He goes to the bathroom that's attached to his room and sets the clothes on the towel rack. He looks in the mirror running his hands through his blonde, well really bright colored hair. I wouldn't say it's blonde. More of a metallic color. (After he strips and takes a shower I don't wanna animate that :/)
He finishes putting on his clean clothes and drys  his hair. He brushes his teeth, puts on socks and shoes. Putting his ushanka on he walks downstairs to see his father on the couch watching the news with Russian subtitles.
"папа, когда мне нужно идти в школу.?"
His dad looks at him 
"я думаю 6:50"
He smiles as a okay. He grabs his backpack and sighs remembering he no longer lives in Russia, he doesn't know anyone who speaks Russian other than his own father. 3 siblings and mother. He brushed it off a bit and looks at the clock seeing it say '6:50AM' he says bye to his dad and starts walking to school.

He gets to school and looks around. He sees and hears mainly gibberish because language barriers. He looks at the ground knowing he's the outcast of the group of kids. He looks at the middleschool and already feels the fear of walking inside. 

He walks inside and bumps into a kid " о дерьмо извините!!"
The kid looks at him "huh? The hell did you say?" (That's not ment to sound harsh this kid just like swearing :/)
He looks confused to the brown haired kid infront of him "uh… Русский?"
The brown haired kid internally face palms "oh he's asking if I speak his language duh.." he whispers to himself. The brown haired kid shakes his head no.
Ivan (the Russian kid) sighs and looks at the floor. The brown haired kid grabs his arm and goes to the office with him. The secretary looks at them "hello Kaleb is there anything we can help you with."
Kaleb nods "this kid here doesn't speak English but is a foreign kid. I'm pretty sure he's speaking Russian."
The secretary nods "oh you must be Ivan. Oh uh. Kaleb are you fine helping him. Such as finding classes. And maybe teaching him English. You can use google translate on your phone. But that's only what your using your phone for"
Kaleb nods and pats Ivan on the head "your gonna like this place new kid." He grabs Ivan's schedule from his(Ivan's)  backpack and starts walking while Ivan follows. He points at locker 80 and looks at Ivan. He puts in the code that's on the schedule and puts Ivan's stuff in there. He grabs his phone and Translates English to Russian saying "this is your locker don't give anyone else the code" he(Ivan)  nods after reading. Ivan closes the locker while following Kaleb to his locker. Kaleb puts his stuff away and starts walking to his class with Ivan.
