Mel wrinkled her nose when Annabel told her to call her 'Anna'. Was she like her stepmother? Did she not like nicknames? Annabel didn't think so, but she wasn't to sure... She explained about her friend, Annaleecia and how it might get confusing. "That's fine! Or, some people call me Elise," she suggested, she liked that name lot better than Annabel. "You as well!" she exclaimed after she said it was a pleasure. "Wow..." Annabel was dumbfounded when people asked if it was the animal, "people amaze me somedays." "Yup, France, first time I have been out of the country." Annabel frowned, she missed her wooded estate. "France...is France I guess. The springs and winters are chilly but the summers are nice. It was really pretty at night durning the winter." Annabel remembered sitting at her window at night, staring outside, all alone, wondering if her mother was in the sky. Annabel's face frowned and her chin quivered for a second, as she repeated, I will not cry, I will not show weakness. She then threw on a smile and looked back at the girl. "France is...amazing, you must visit someday. So, what was Turkey like?" she smiled. They started to talk about the stereotype of the houses. "Agreed." she said whole-heartedly. She told Annabel about being a ravenclaw amd having the guts to ask that question. "Maybe your part gryffindor?" she suggested with a smile "Oh, I see. I left France because not only was I bored, but my older brother wanted adventure, he wanted to go have fun and I kinda followed behind him, without him noticing..." she laughed, "my brother is oblivious somedays! So what was your best prank?" she asked with a smirk, she loved pranks, specially doing them to others. After she explained her prank, Anna smiled widely. "So, do you have any siblings?
