"I'm Agatha."
Rio stuffed her hands in her pockets and licked her lips. "Oh, really? What does Agatha mean?"
"It's a Greek name," she explained. "It comes from the word 'agathos,' which means 'good' or 'honorable.'"
Rio raised an eyebrow and nodded. "I bet your parents really thought about giving you that name."
Agatha glanced at her from the corner of her eye and rolled her eyes. "Don't get me wrong, it's a nice name. I meant it in a good way," Rio said as she moved closer.
Agatha responded coldly, "Thanks." Agatha looked at her for a moment. "What about you? What's your name?"
"Rio. I don't even know what it means. Just Rio. No story behind it."
