Last year she likely would have just waved back and then dug herself into one of her books, but she was determined to break her usual antisocial tendencies. Well, it didn't hurt to have a few older friends to look up to. Taking his wave as an invitation, she scooted down the table to be closer.
"Hello," she said. "I'm Silvia. I don't think I've seen you around before."
Alex looked around the Great Hall hoping to see some familiar faces. Truthfully, she had not really made that many friends last year. "This year is going to be different", she said to herself. Just then, she spotted her friend Silvia further down the table. She was busy talking to some other students. Alex headed toward her, anxious to see her friend again after the long summer.
