"Thanks!" Rusty walked into the compartment and sat down opposite him, putting her bag on the floor by her feet. "Maybe she'll find you and then I can be friends with her too." Because yes, Rusty was gonna need a lot of friends, because being away from everyone back home was going to be so WEIRD.
Her whole name? "Nope. My WHOLE name is Rowan Elizabeth Fields but everyone calls me Rusty cause I like going outside in the rain."
Phew, thank goodness she sat opposite him instead of right next to. "
Yeah! That'd be cool 'cause she's a first year too! AND she said she knows another first year called..." Izaac paused and squinted one eye. "...
can't remember his name, but imagine if we could all know each other before school even starts!?" It was important. Newbies had to be in this together.
Well, he hadn't meant her WHOLE-FULL name but that was still good to know. He was right about the nickname thing then. "
Why didn't they call you Rainy?" He said, pondering. Yes, let's question new friends' nicknames! "
I mean, but Rusty is still really cool, though..." Move on! "
My whole name is Izaac Bill Dafforn. But people call me Zac 'cause it's shorter." If they were going for formalities.
"
D'you know when we're leaving?" It had to be any second now. The platform had cleared up a bit, leaving parents waving and stuff. He looked for his mum again and actually SPOTTED her! Zac sat up properly and waved to his hearts content!
