(I'd assume so)

(yes!)

Aviur stood in the corner. There had to be something he could do to help, but he didn't want to interrupt.


Stay low. Look at the essays. He thought, even though the ones about erosion were rather... not that good

Halstein-

"No I just got signed up, I think I'm in the grade below you though..." He said with a bit of a smile. "I start tomorrow but I have no idea what I'm doing. This is my first time in an actual school..."

"Oh? I'm in eleventh grade, next year's my last. Diana-" she stuck out her hand, grinning. "-student council vice president. Have any questions, don't be afraid to ask me."

Halstein- Earth

Happily he shook her hand. "I hope your prepared for a bombardment of questions...between you and me I-I've never been to school. This is my first year, though I think we might be in the same grade."

"Never been to school?" She whispered it, glancing around. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. And ask away- I'm perfectly fine with that. Anyway, today we have a school dance. I can get you in without a ticket, seeing as you're new." She smiled, hoping he'd come. That way, he would meet more people- she couldn't imagine making it through school without Kaci or Amelia. "Oh, wait a second."

She texted her friends back. Yeah, have my dress. I said not to whoever asked me, though Looking back up, she smiled. "Any questions right now?" Saying that, she realized she had never caught his name.

Halstein- Earth

"I'd love to come but I'm afraid I don't have any other clothes but these..." He said looking down at the colorful outfit her wore. It was traditional in his home village so he had bought one once he had the money for it. "I do have one...what's your name? I'm Halstein, but you can call me Hal."

"Oh, it's fine! In fact, it looks nice." She smiled, then answered his question. "I'm Diana. My friends call me Di or Ana though." Looking around, she waved to him. "Well, bye. I'll see you at the dance- come to me if there are any problems." She threw one last look over her shoulder as she exited the school campus and made her way back home.

Her parents were wealthy, but she had still gotten a scholarship for her private high school. Their house was big, and her parents were on business trips most of the time. She hated it, but chose not to discuss or talk about it with them- it was their job after all.

When she got home, they weren't there. Sighing, she texted her friends. Hey, wanna come over?

Ping!
